## Mission Objective

Model Switcher lets agent makers cycle through models with Ctrl+P, open a fuzzy-search overlay with Ctrl+L, or set scoped model lists via --models flag. Thinking levels (off → xhigh) adjust reasoning token budgets on the fly.

## Current Operations

The router dispatches requests through pi-ai's unified multi-provider layer. Each model switch updates the footer bar with new token/cost projections. The extension API allows custom rate cards to override provider list prices for tikoly.com pricing.
