SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Economy mode reduces the cost of AI model usage by guiding Layer 3 auto-selection to cheaper options while respecting user intent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session-level cost reductions: enable cost-optimized models for a session without altering explicit Layer 0/1/2 settings.
  • Persistent economy mode: write economyMode to .squad/config.json to apply across sessions.
  • Clear acknowledgments: emit spawn messages with a 💰 indicator when economy mode is active.

Quick Start

Say a command like "use economy mode" or set the persistent config to enable cost-optimized models for future sessions.

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 during a session?▼

You can reduce AI model costs by enabling economy mode, which shifts Layer 3 model selection to cost-optimized alternatives while preserving your existing Layer 0 and Layer 1-2 constraints. Simply say "use economy mode" to apply it for the current session.

How do I persist cost-optimized model selection across multiple sessions?▼

To persist cost-optimized model selection across sessions, enable economy mode to update your .squad/config.json file with economyMode: true. This ensures future sessions automatically use cheaper Layer 3 models.

What is Layer 3 model selection and how does economy mode affect it?▼

Layer 3 model selection is the process of choosing AI models for task execution, and economy mode affects it by overriding auto-selection to prioritize cheaper alternatives while respecting your explicit Layer 0, 1, and 2 constraints.

How do I know when cost-optimized model selection is active?▼

You know cost-optimized model selection is active when the system emits spawn acknowledgments with a 💰 indicator. This visual confirmation appears whenever economy mode is guiding Layer 3 model selection.

Does economy mode alter my explicit Layer 0 and Layer 1-2 model configurations?▼

No, economy mode does not alter your explicit Layer 0 and Layer 1-2 model configurations. It strictly shifts Layer 3 auto-selection to cheaper alternatives while preserving your existing constraints and settings.

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

Yes, you can activate cost-optimized model selection using a CLI flag, alongside session phrases and persistent config updates. Economy mode applies across all three methods to ensure flexible cost optimization.
