SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ecomode reduces token usage by downgrading droid selection to cheaper tiers while preserving quality for tasks that don't require maximum capability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prefers lower-tier droids to save tokens, starting from executor-low or basic-searcher.
  • Escalates only when the task clearly requires more capability, ensuring reliability.
  • Works in combination with other modes (eco ralph, eco ultrawork, eco autopilot) for cost-aware workflows.
  • Lightweight verification steps (build + affected tests) to ensure correctness.

Quick Start

Start with the lowest viable droid tier and escalate only if the task clearly needs more capability, followed by lightweight verification.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce token usage when routing tasks to droids?

Reduce token usage by downgrading droid selection to cheaper tiers while preserving task quality. Start with the lowest viable droid, such as executor-low or basic-searcher, and escalate only when more capability is clearly required.

What is the best way to optimize costs for simple, repetitive automation tasks?

Optimize costs for repetitive automation tasks by starting with the lowest viable droid tier. Analyze task complexity and perform lightweight verification with builds and affected tests to ensure correctness without wasting tokens.

When should I escalate a task to a higher tier droid?

Escalate to a higher tier droid only when the task clearly requires more capability. Start at the lowest tier and escalate at most one level when necessary, ensuring you do not overspend on straightforward operations.

Can I combine ecomode with other automation workflows?

Yes, combine ecomode with other automation workflows like eco ralph, eco ultrawork, and eco autopilot. This creates cost-aware task management workflows that maintain quality while actively saving tokens across operations.

Does ecomode verify code correctness after downgrading droid selection?

Yes, verify code correctness after downgrading droid selection by performing lightweight verification steps. Run a build and execute affected tests to ensure the lower-tier droid did not compromise task quality.
