model-band
A Claude Code plugin that adds a band above the prompt to switch model and reasoning effort without typing commands, mapping selections to /model and /effort.
About this mod
model-band is a Claude Code mod published through the gmz-claude-marketplace. It displays a band above the prompt showing the current model (e.g. Sonnet 5.5) and reasoning effort (e.g. medium) as dropdowns. Selecting a model runs /model <id> and selecting an effort runs /effort <level>. Available models include Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 4.5, with the current model always shown even if not in the list. Effort levels are low, medium, high, xhigh and max. Before the first turn, effort is read from settings.json (modelSettings.<model>.effortLevel, else effortLevel); afterwards it follows what the turn reports. The MODELS and EFFORTS lists are constants in hooks/register.tsx, and version in plugin.json must be bumped after edits.
