# Effort Levels
|
|
|
|
Pullfrog supports three effort levels that control model selection and reasoning depth:
|
|
|
|
- **`nothink`** — Fast, minimal reasoning. Best for simple tasks.
|
|
- **`think`** — Balanced (default). Good for most tasks.
|
|
- **`max`** — Maximum capability. Best for complex tasks requiring deep reasoning.
|
|
|
|
The effort level can be specified via the `effort` input in `action.yml` or in the payload's `effort` field.
|

## Claude Code
|
|
|
|
Claude Code uses model selection based on effort level.
|
|
|
|
| Effort | Model | Description |
|
|
|--------|-------|-------------|
|
|
| `nothink` | `claude-haiku-4-5-20250929` | Fast, efficient (Haiku) |
|
|
| `think` | `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929` | Balanced (Sonnet) |
|
|
| `max` | `claude-opus-4-5-20250929` | Maximum capability (Opus) |
|
|
|
|
> **Future direction:** Anthropic's beta `effort` parameter (`low`/`medium`/`high`) could replace model selection, using Opus 4.5 for all tasks with effort controlling token spend. See [Anthropic Effort Docs](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/effort).

## Codex (OpenAI)
|
|
|
|
Codex uses both model selection and the `modelReasoningEffort` parameter from `ThreadOptions`.
|
|
|
|
| Effort | Model | `modelReasoningEffort` | Description |
|
|
|--------|-------|------------------------|-------------|
|
|
| `nothink` | `gpt-5.1-codex-mini` | `"low"` | Smaller model, reduced reasoning |
|
|
| `think` | `gpt-5.1-codex` | default | Standard model, default reasoning |
|
|
| `max` | `gpt-5.1-codex-max` | `"high"` | Largest model, maximum reasoning |
|
|
|
|
Valid values for `modelReasoningEffort`: `"minimal"` | `"low"` | `"medium"` | `"high"`
|
|

## Gemini
|
|
|
|
Gemini uses a combination of model selection and `thinkingLevel` configuration via `settings.json`.
|
|
|
|
| Effort | Model | `thinkingLevel` | Description |
|
|
|--------|-------|-----------------|-------------|
|
|
| `nothink` | `gemini-2.5-flash` | `LOW` | Fast model, minimal thinking |
|
|
| `think` | `gemini-2.5-flash` | `HIGH` | Fast model, deep thinking |
|
|
| `max` | `gemini-2.5-pro` | `HIGH` | Most capable model, deep thinking |
|
|
|
|
The `thinkingLevel` is configured via:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"modelConfig": {
|
|
"generateContentConfig": {
|
|
"thinkingConfig": {
|
|
"thinkingLevel": "LOW"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Cursor
|
|
|
|
Cursor uses model selection via the `--model` CLI flag. Project-level configuration in `.cursor/cli.json` takes precedence if a `model` is specified there.
|
|
|
|
| Effort | Model | Description |
|
|
|--------|-------|-------------|
|
|
| `nothink` | `auto` (default) | Let Cursor select optimal model |
|
|
| `think` | `auto` (default) | Let Cursor select optimal model |
|
|
| `max` | `opus-4.5-thinking` | Claude 4.5 Opus with thinking |
|
|
|
|
**Note:** If the project has `.cursor/cli.json` with a `model` field, that model is used regardless of effort level.
|

## OpenCode
|
|
|
|
OpenCode does not currently have affordances for effort-level configuration. The effort parameter is ignored.
|
|
|
|
| Effort | Behavior |
|
|
|--------|----------|
|
|
| `nothink` | No effect |
|
|
| `think` | No effect |
|
|
| `max` | No effect |
