Bug Description Please have an option to allow model to change models (for the next prompt).

Use case: When I have a large project made up of 10-15 steps, I usually ask at the planning stage which stages are better to be coded by Opus or Sonnet. I find recommendations given by opus relevant. But then it stops in between to ask me to switch models. It would be great to be able to automate this.

TL;DR

Implement an option to automatically switch between models like Opus and Sonnet based on the project's requirements without manual intervention.

Guidance

  • Identify the specific stages in a project where model switching is necessary and determine the conditions that trigger the switch.
  • Develop a feature to automatically switch models based on these conditions, potentially using a configuration file or project settings.
  • Consider adding a fallback mechanism to handle cases where automatic model switching fails or is not possible.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of integrating this feature into the existing workflow, potentially through a plugin or extension.

Notes

The implementation details of the automatic model switching feature are unclear and may require further discussion or experimentation to determine the best approach.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a custom script or plugin to automate model switching based on project requirements, as the current version (2.1.128) does not seem to support this feature natively.
