SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Economy mode helps reduce AI delivery costs by automatically selecting lower-cost Layer 3 models when activated, while preserving intent at higher layers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session-based economy mode toggling to switch to budget-friendly models during conversations.
  • Persistent config support via .squad/config.json to keep economy mode enabled across sessions.
  • Clear spawn acknowledgments with 💰 indicators to communicate changes in model selection.

Quick Start

Say "use economy mode" to enable it for the current session, or set economyMode: true in .squad/config.json for persistent activation.

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 model costs during a conversation session?

You can reduce AI model costs by enabling economy mode, which automatically selects lower-cost Layer 3 models for your session. Simply say "use economy mode" during the conversation to switch to budget-friendly models.

How do I persist AI cost optimization settings across multiple sessions?

To persist AI cost optimization across sessions, set economyMode: true in your .squad/config.json file. This configuration keeps economy mode enabled automatically without requiring manual activation each time.

Does enabling economy mode override explicit user model preferences?

Enabling economy mode does not override explicit user preferences. It only affects Layer 3 model selection, while Layer 0 and Layer 2 preferences remain governed by explicit user intent and stay unchanged.

What is Layer 3 model selection and when should I use it?

Layer 3 model selection is a cost-aware mechanism that automatically chooses lower-cost AI models during conversations. Use it when you need to optimize operating costs without altering higher-layer intent configurations.

Can I activate cost-aware model selection using a CLI flag?

Yes, you can activate cost-aware model selection using a CLI flag, a session phrase, or persistent configuration. The CLI flag updates the economyMode flag accordingly to enable lower-cost Layer 3 models.
