What problem does it solve?
Token-efficient execution within complex Kimi workflows is achieved by budget-aware routing, context pruning, and tool restrictions to minimize token spend while preserving quality.
This modifier helps teams control costs during planning, exploration, and autonomous agent orchestration.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Budget-aware routing automatically selects the lowest viable agent tier to complete tasks.
- Context pruning reduces large evidence payloads when the budget is near depletion.
- Tool restriction blocks non-essential operations to enforce safety and efficiency.
- Token audit reports provide efficiency scores and actionable optimization recommendations.
Use Case: Integrate ecomode in long-running planning sessions to cut token usage by up to 75% without sacrificing outcome quality.
Quick Start
Enable ecomode with the --eco flag to route a complex task to budget-conscious agents and prune context as the budget tightens.
