# Coding Agent Model Routing and Cost Optimizer

Direct development agent prompts to suitable language models based on task complexity and budget

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=coding-agent-model-routing-and-cost-optimizer)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/coding-agent-model-routing-and-cost-optimizer/index.md)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- On a scheduleReview agent routing telemetry
- ThenAnalyze session logs and cache usage
- ResultRequest approval for router updates

Monitor developer agent workloads, evaluate task complexity, and optimize model routing rules across your engineering stack. The bot audits token usage patterns and suggests routing policy updates to balance speed and expense without sacrificing code quality.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Analyze model routing logs and agent session telemetry from your database and terminal logs. Classify coding tasks into tiers based on complexity and prompt history. Flag inefficient model selections and cache misses across ongoing workflows. Draft updated router configurations with optimized tier mappings, and wait for human approval before applying changes or committing updates to GitHub.
