Function: resolveSurfaceMode()

resolveSurfaceMode(provider, model?): SurfaceMode

Defined in: src/lib/injection-engine/factories/defineSkill.ts:166

Resolve surfaceMode: 'auto' to a concrete mode based on provider

• model. The defaults match the per-provider attention profile documented in the Skills, explained essay:

  • Claude >= 3.5 → 'both' (cheap to cache, high adherence)
  • Claude pre-3.5 → 'tool-only' (recency-first more reliable)
  • OpenAI / Bedrock / Ollama / Mock / unknown → 'tool-only'

Pure function — no side effects. Consumers can call directly to inspect what 'auto' will resolve to in their stack.
