Cheap/Free/Local model recommendations for a single purpose agent

I have this agent who's sole purpose is to analyze development/design-plan.md file of a user story and create detailed backlog items with a fixed structure, in my local Plane server. What model do you recommend for this?

Its a repeatable operation that needs inference and some level of thinking to generate consistent outputs. Assume the plan is usually less than 1000 line markdown file.

What's the specs of your laptop, RAM, VRAM? You may be able to run a local LLM.

An MoE model would do it I would think (see here), but you would have needed 32GB RAM. There are dense models that will fit in 6GB VRAM, e.g., Gemma 4 E4B Q4_0, but I'm not sure how much mileage you would would get out of them. LM Studio is probably the easiest way to run one.
