Keep your tools.
Change the route.

One routing idea. Three familiar workflows.

Your coding tool holds the conversation, project context, and development workflow. Switchka’s role is to route prompts to a model tier suited to the task. It does not replace your editor, terminal, source control, or responsibility for the code you accept.

Onboarding begins with your tool and the work you want to do. The same local-first approach can serve an editor-centered session, a terminal-based coding conversation, or a sequence of delegated tasks. What changes is the context you supply, the way you inspect results, and the compatibility questions that need to be answered before connecting.

The tool pages below describe representative workflows and useful preparation. They are not installation guides. Request early access to confirm the supported connection method and available models for your environment; do not infer an API endpoint or configuration format from these examples.

Choose your starting point.

Choose the integration that matches where you already spend time. There is no need to adopt a different coding tool merely to evaluate model routing. A useful first session is one you can compare directly with work you have done before.

A deliberate path from access to evaluation.

First, describe the environment you want to connect. Include the tool name and version if known, your operating environment, and whether a suitable local model is already available. Do not send credentials, private repositories, or unredacted logs in an initial request.

Next, establish the processing boundaries. Some projects can use cloud escalation; others may require work to remain local. Explain the constraint before connecting anything. Confirm the actual model availability and supported settings during onboarding, rather than assuming every tier or control in the illustrative dashboard is available.

Then choose a bounded evaluation. For Cursor, begin with selected code and a reviewable edit. For Claude Code, use a small investigation with clear checks. For Codex, define an isolated task and an accepted outcome. In each case, preserve your normal review process and compare total spend for useful work.

Finally, look at the route mix over several representative tasks. A single easy prompt tells you little about an entire development workload. Record cases where additional capability was needed, where context was missing, or where an answer required correction. These observations make the next onboarding conversation more useful.

What to confirm before you rely on a connection.

Tool versions, connection capabilities, and available models can differ between environments. This site names the three intended integration workflows; it does not publish a provider matrix, SDK, or executable configuration. Access and compatibility need confirmation through the early-access process.

Routing also does not confer permissions on the coding tool. Continue to review file changes, command execution, repository access, and any external processing according to your project’s rules. A model-tier decision and permission to act on a repository are different decisions.

Savings depend on the work flowing through the integration. The supplied 70%+ reduction in token spend is qualified: Savings vary by workload. If much of your work needs frontier capability, the model mix may look very different from the illustrative preview.
