SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reduces operating costs by selecting lower-cost AI models for routine tasks without compromising explicit user intent or high-priority configurations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Switch Layer 3 model selection to cost-optimized options when economy mode is active.
  • Persist economy mode as a flag in .squad/config.json for session-wide or persistent usage.
  • Provide clear acknowledgments with a 💰 indicator when economy mode is active or deactivated.

Quick Start

Use economy mode to activate cost-aware model selection for your session.

Frequently Asked Questions about economy-mode

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce AI operating costs by switching to lower-cost models for routine tasks?▼

You can reduce AI operating costs by activating economy mode, which shifts Layer 3 model selection to cost-optimized options without compromising explicit user intent or high-priority configurations.

How does cost-optimized model selection work during an active session?▼

Cost-optimized model selection works by shifting Layer 3 model choices to lower-cost alternatives whenever economy mode is active, ensuring routine tasks run cheaper while respecting explicit user intent.

Can I persist economy mode settings across multiple sessions using config.json?▼

Yes, you can persist economy mode by updating .squad/config.json with the economy flag, allowing the cost-optimized model selection to apply session-wide or permanently across future operations.

Do I need any external dependencies to enable cost optimization for model selection?▼

No external dependencies are required to enable cost optimization for model selection. The economy mode operates independently by managing Layer 3 choices and updating the .squad/config.json file.

What is the best way to verify that economy mode is active and reducing model costs?▼

The best way to verify economy mode is active is by checking for clear spawn acknowledgments, which display a 💰 indicator whenever cost-optimized model selection is successfully activated or deactivated.

When should I avoid using cost-optimized models for my AI tasks?▼

You should avoid using cost-optimized models for high-priority configurations or when explicit user intent demands maximum performance, as economy mode prioritizes lower-cost options for routine tasks over peak capability.
