Cheap Agent, a Claude Code plugin that hands typing to a cheaper model
A Claude Code plugin and MCP server at github.com/muaaz9329/cheap-ag, badged MIT, also published as the npm package cheap-agent. The maker says Opus plans the task and a cheaper model writes the code in a git worktree. In the post that model is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash.
They say a test has to fail before the change and pass after, and that only passing work lands, still uncommitted. The token cuts are theirs: on their SWE-bench Verified sample with Opus 5.5, one feature went from 154k to 57k Opus tokens. We have not installed it.
