Model-agnostic.
Also known as: model freedom, no lock-in
Model-agnostic means building your setup so it isn't tied to one model or one company. You can run Claude for one job, GPT for another, a Local model for a third, and swap whenever it makes sense.
The point is you're never beholden to a single vendor. If one raises prices, falls behind, or goes down, you move without rebuilding everything.
What makes this possible is keeping your context in plain Markdown instead of locked inside one tool. Your instructions, your business knowledge, your Skills all sit in files any model can read. Switch the brain, keep the setup.
