Cool idea - agent that can downshift its own model

Reddit r/AI_Agents Tools

Summary

A developer describes a multi-agent hive using tmux that allows agents to downshift their own model (e.g., from Fable to Sonnet) automatically, and upshift with permission via Telegram.

I’ve got a multi-agent hive running on tmux windows. The agents use it to talk with each other and the backbone bot uses it to wake agents when they have tasks. I just realized, tmux can write anywhere - even into its own windows, so an agent can send itself a /model command. I’ve set it up so that if it thinks it needs an upshift, it can ask me for permission in telegram. So, I can start off with Fable tackling an idea and then when Fable thinks Sonnet can take over managing the project from there, it downshifts and continues. Works with all agents though. This could be extended to compact, fast, effort and a number of others - though you’d want to be careful with some - like permission is verboten. Is this something others would find useful? It would work with any tech that provides keystroke injection.
