economy-mode

To reduce model selection costs, enable economy mode to shift Layer 3 model choices to cheaper alternatives. This preserves your Layer 0-2 preferences while applying cost-optimized model tables to your spawn decisions.

You can persist cost-optimization settings by writing economyMode: true to the .squad/config.json file. This ensures economy mode remains active for future sessions rather than requiring manual activation each time.

Yes, you can apply cost-optimized model selection temporarily by saying 'use economy mode' during your session. This adjusts Layer 3 spawn decisions without writing persistent settings to config.json.

Economy mode does not override explicit model preferences. It only adjusts Layer 3 model selection to cost-optimized alternatives while strictly preserving your Layer 0, 1, and 2 directives.

You can verify cost-optimized model selection is active by checking spawn acknowledgments. When economy mode is enabled, these acknowledgments include a 💰 indicator to clarify that cost-conscious choices are being applied.

Economy mode is limited to Layer 3 model selection adjustments. It cannot alter Layer 0-2 preferences and only applies cost-optimized alternatives when the mode is explicitly active in the session or config.json.
