Frequently Asked Questions about economy-mode

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce model selection costs during a session?▼

Reduce model selection costs by activating economy mode via a session command or by setting economyMode: true in your config file. This switches Layer 3 selections to budget-friendly alternatives while preserving higher-level overrides.

What is cost-aware Layer 3 model selection?▼

Cost-aware Layer 3 model selection replaces high-cost model choices with budget-friendly options when economy mode is active. It balances cost and performance across tasks like coding, prompts, and planning without breaking existing configurations.

Does economy mode override my default model configurations?▼

Economy mode does not override your default configurations. It preserves Layer 0 settings, explicit user directives like defaultModel, and charter preferences, ensuring cost-aware operation only affects applicable Layer 3 selections.

How do I persist economy mode settings across different sessions?▼

Persist economy mode settings across sessions by setting economyMode: true in the .squad/config.json file. This ensures cost-optimized Layer 3 model choices are continuously applied without requiring manual activation each time.

When should I avoid using economy mode for model selection?▼

Avoid using economy mode when your coding, prompt, or planning tasks require maximum performance from high-cost Layer 3 models and cost optimization is secondary. It shifts selections to budget-friendly alternatives which may impact output quality.
