# hermit-agent

> hermit-agent — cafitac-hermit-agent. Use this tool when you need to reduce costs associated with running Claude Code, as it enables cheaper model execution while maintaining Claude as the orchestrator. Hermit-agent solves the problem of expensive computation by automatically routing tasks to cheaper models, such as Codex and z.ai, with local fallback. It takes in Claude Code as input and outputs executed code at a lower cost, making it ideal for use cases where budget optimization is crucial.
