SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps reduce costs during a session by automatically selecting cost-optimized alternatives for Layer 3 model usage when economy mode is active.

Core Features & Use Cases

Cost-Optimized Model Selection: Shifts Layer 3 model selection to lower-cost alternatives when economy mode is enabled.
Session and Persistent Activation: Can be activated for a single session or made persistent via configuration.
Use Case: If you want to minimize costs across an entire session without manually adjusting models for each agent, this skill can be used to automatically switch to more affordable models.

Quick Start

Activate economy mode by saying "use economy mode" or by setting "economyMode: true" in .squad/config.json.

FAQPage Schema

How do I reduce model usage costs during an active session?▼

You can reduce model usage costs by enabling economy mode, which automatically shifts Layer 3 model selection to lower-cost alternatives. Activate it for a single session or apply it persistently via configuration to minimize expenses across your workflow.

What is the best way to switch to lower-cost model alternatives automatically?▼

The best way to switch to lower-cost model alternatives automatically is to use an economy mode configuration. It modifies Layer 3 model selection dynamically, ensuring cost-optimized choices without requiring manual adjustments for each agent.

Does economy mode require specific setup in the .squad directory?▼

Yes, economy mode requires the skill to be present and configured in the .squad directory. You must set "economyMode: true" in the config.json file or trigger it manually to activate the cost-saving model selection.

Can I enable cost optimization for just one session instead of permanently?▼

Yes, you can enable cost optimization for a single session by using the phrase "use economy mode". This provides temporary Layer 3 model selection shifts without altering your persistent configuration, ideal for short-term cost savings.

When do I need to configure persistent cost-saving mode for model selection?▼

You need to configure persistent cost-saving mode when you want to minimize expenses across multiple sessions without manual activation. By setting economyMode to true in .squad/config.json, Layer 3 consistently uses lower-cost alternatives.

Why use a dedicated mode for cost optimization instead of manually selecting cheaper models?▼

Using a dedicated mode for cost optimization prevents human error and ensures consistent savings across all agents. It automatically modifies Layer 3 model selection to lower-cost alternatives, freeing you from manually tracking and adjusting models individually.
