SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Economy mode shifts Layer 3 model selection to lower-cost alternatives while preserving Layer 0/1/2 preferences and explicit user directives.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Switch Layer 3 auto-selection to cost-optimized models when economy mode is active
  • Persist economy mode with economyMode: true in .squad/config.json or use session-scoped activation
  • Include a 💰 indicator in spawn acknowledgments to signal cost-aware behavior

Quick Start

Say 'use economy mode' to enable cost-optimized models for the 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 model costs by switching to cheaper alternatives automatically?

Cost-optimized model selection switches Layer 3 auto-routing to lower-cost alternatives during active sessions. It respects Layer 0/1/2 directives and explicit user intents while reducing overall operating expenses.

How do I persist economy mode settings across sessions?

You can persist economy mode by setting `economyMode: true` inside the `.squad/config.json` file. This ensures cost-optimized model selection remains active for future sessions without requiring manual reactivation.

Does economy mode override existing model preferences and explicit user directives?

Economy mode does not override existing preferences. It strictly respects Layer 0, Layer 1, and Layer 2 directives alongside explicit user intents, ensuring critical model requirements are preserved while optimizing costs.

Can I enable cost-optimized model selection for just the current session?

Yes, you can enable cost-optimized model selection for just the current session by saying 'use economy mode'. This applies temporary cost optimization without modifying the persisted `.squad/config.json` file.

What indicates that cost-optimized model selection is currently active?

A 💰 indicator in spawn acknowledgments signals that cost-optimized model selection is active. This visual cue confirms that the system is currently routing tasks to cheaper model alternatives.
