SpecJudge runs locally on Ollama to pick the right-sized AI model for your project
jokiruiz · reddit · 2026-07-21
SpecJudge is a local-first CLI that reads project specs and recommends the best right-sized model for the job.
- It analyzes Spec-Driven Development artifacts such as constitution, spec, and tasks.
- A local model running on Ollama estimates how demanding the project is, then compares that against a catalog of models and prices.
- The goal is not to pick the cheapest or the strongest model, but the one that is actually right-sized.
- Everything stays local: the judge runs on your machine, specs never leave it, and the HTML report is self-contained.
- The tool is MIT-licensed, with the model catalog stored in plain YAML so model additions and price fixes can be made by PR.
