In the BB sidebar, each thread has a provider icon. You can see whether it's Codex or Claude, but not which model or effort it's using.
I asked agents to make a plugin that replaces the icons so you can see both. And to make it compatible with the colored provider icons I use.
The result is Model & Effort Badges. Instead of a logo, there's a small badge with a code: the model's letter and effort. Ah is GPT-6-Astra on high, Ouc is Opus 5.5 on ultracode. With the True Colors icons, the Codex badge has an outline and the Claude badge is filled; without them, the codes are gray. Hover over one to see the full model name.
If BB doesn't know the thread's model, there's a question mark. The plugin doesn't try to guess the model from the provider.
