SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Shifts Layer 3 model selection to cost-optimized alternatives when economy mode is active.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Economy-aware model auto-selection for routine tasks without compromising user intent
  • Persistent configuration writes economyMode: true to .squad/config.json to enable across sessions
  • Spawn acknowledgments include a 💰 indicator when economy mode is active

Quick Start

Enable economy mode for the current session or persist it by setting economyMode in .squad/config.json, then the system will switch to cost-optimized models.

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 without changing my session configuration manually?▼

Economy mode shifts Layer 3 model selection to cost-optimized alternatives automatically. It applies session-wide to startup spawning and per-task routing while respecting Layer 0–2 constraints.

How does cost-aware model selection handle persistent configuration?▼

Cost-aware model selection persists by writing economyMode: true to .squad/config.json. This ensures the economy configuration remains active across multiple sessions without manual reconfiguration.

Can I apply cost-optimized AI models to per-task routing without affecting higher layers?▼

Yes, economy mode replaces normal model mappings using an economy table for per-task routing. It strictly respects Layer 0–2 constraints, ensuring higher-layer configurations remain unaffected.

What indicates that economy mode is active during spawn acknowledgments?▼

When economy mode is active, spawn acknowledgments include a 💰 indicator. This visual cue confirms that the system has switched to cost-optimized models for that specific session.

When should I avoid using cost-optimized model selection for AI tasks?▼

Avoid cost-optimized model selection when task complexity requires high-fidelity outputs that lower-cost alternatives cannot deliver. Economy mode prioritizes savings and may compromise quality for routine tasks.
