Agents Models and providers
Teaches how to architect model selection and provider configurations for AI agents, including strategies for per-agent, run-level, and process-wide model defaults and choosing between standard OpenAI paths and custom...
When To Use
Use when you need to implement model fallback strategies, optimize agent workflows for latency and cost through explicit model selection, or configure custom providers and transport layers like WebSockets.

What This Skill Covers
- Every SDK run eventually resolves a model and a transport. Most applications should keep that setup straightforward: choose models explicitly, use the standa...
- Main sections:
Start with explicit model selection,Choose the simplest default strategy,Providers and transport,Model settings, prompts, and feature support,Next steps.
Workflow
- Open the most relevant file under
docs/for the exact documented workflow and wording. - Open
schemas/files for exact structured contracts. - Open
examples/files for concrete requests, commands, snippets, and manifests. - Do not add behavior or configuration that is not present in the attached source files.
