What is Effortlane?

Effortlane is a local model and reasoning-effort router for coding agents. It selects from your authenticated Codex model catalog before a user turn, preserves native ChatGPT authentication, and records routing evidence locally. In **Shadow mode**, you keep the real executor and effort while Effortlane records what it would recommend.

The goal: **less subscription allowance per correctly completed task**. A cheap call that causes retries or rework is not a saving.

What you get	Why it matters
Model and effort selection	Adjust reasoning depth as well as model capability
Shadow before Auto	Inspect recommendations before letting them change execution
Decisions between turns	Keep one executor through a turn's thoughts and tool calls
Native login and context	Continue using your existing Codex account and full executor context
Local evidence and recovery	Inspect routes, cache counters and failures; return to native Codex
