Coworker moves bulk reading and boilerplate writing to a cheaper model so the reasoning model keeps its context for reasoning. It is a tool, not a policy: it is used where delegation is genuinely cheaper than doing the work in place, and skipped where it is not.
Capabilities
- Delegates bulk file reading and summarisation to a secondary model
- Vendor-neutral — the backend model is configuration, not a dependency
- Command-line interface usable from agents and from a terminal
Current autonomy level
L1
Weakest link
Delegation quality depends on the backing model; a task that needs judgement rather than volume is not a good fit and the tool does not detect that for you.
Roadmap to L2
- Broaden the set of backends that can serve as the bulk reader
- Record delegation outcomes so the cheaper/not-cheaper call stops being a guess
