Phase 01: Model Interface & Switching - Context
Gathered: 2026-01-27 Status: Ready for planning
## Phase BoundaryConnect to LMStudio for local model inference, auto-detect available models, intelligently switch between models based on task and availability, and manage model context efficiently (conversation history, system prompt, token budget).
## Implementation DecisionsModel Selection Strategy
- Primary factor: Available resources (CPU, RAM, GPU)
- Preference: Most efficient model that fits constraints
- Categorize models by both capability tier AND resource needs
- Fallback: Try minimal model even if slow when no model fits constraints
Context Management Policy
- Trigger compression at 70% of context window
- Use hybrid approach: summarize very old messages, keep some middle ones intact, preserve all recent messages
- Priority during compression: Always preserve user instructions and explicit requests
- Adapts to different model context sizes based on percentage
Switching Behavior
- Silent switching: No user notifications when changing models
- Dynamic switching: Can switch mid-task if current model struggles
- Smart context transfer: Send context relevant to why switching occurred
- Queue new tasks: Prepare new model in background, use for next message
Failure Handling
- Auto-start LM Studio if not running
- Try next best model automatically if model fails to load
- Switch and retry immediately if model gives no response or errors
- Graceful degradation: Switch to minimal resource usage mode when exhausted
Claude's Discretion
- Exact model capability tier definitions
- Context compression algorithms and thresholds within hybrid approach
- What constitutes "struggling" for dynamic switching
- Graceful degradation specifics (which features to disable)
No specific requirements — open to standard approaches for local model management.
