README

model-relay: per-window model switcher, subagent router, and 429 failover for Claude Code

Switch any Claude Code window to another model from an interactive panel, route subagents to any provider,
and automatically fail over when Claude hits a usage limit—all on localhost, with Remote Control and statuslines intact.

Why

Claude Code binds model settings globally across every terminal window. `model-relay` runs a lightweight router on localhost (`127.0.0.1:8950`) so each window and subagent can use the model you want—with zero external cloud proxies.
