Why we included this project
Most coding sessions send plenty of trivial requests to expensive models, and NadirClaw sits in front of your tools to stop that. It classifies each prompt in about ten milliseconds, routes simple ones to cheap or local models, and only falls back to premium models when the cheap answer fails its own quality checks. Because it's a drop-in OpenAI-compatible proxy, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and similar tools just point at localhost and keep using your own API keys, with no third-party service in the path. The fallback chains and cost tracking hold up in daily use, and the published comparisons give you a concrete sense of the 40-70% savings before you commit. Teams watching their API spend climb will find it a low-friction way to cut costs without reworking their setup.
