SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Economy-mode reduces AI compute costs by shifting Layer 3 model selection to cost-optimized alternatives when activated. It does not override explicit user preferences stored in Layer 0–2 configurations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cost-aware Layer 3 auto-selection when economy mode is active.
  • Supports both session-scoped activation and persistent configuration via .squad/config.json.
  • Spawn acknowledgments include a 💰 indicator to signal cost-optimized mode.

Quick Start

Enable economy mode for the current session using phrases like 'use economy mode' or persist it by setting economyMode to true in .squad/config.json.

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 compute costs by switching to cheaper models in my agent workflow?▼

Cost-aware model selection shifts AI agent model choices to cost-optimized alternatives when activated, overriding default Layer 3 selections without changing explicit user preferences.

Can I persist economy mode settings across multiple sessions?▼

Yes, economy mode persists across sessions by setting economyMode to true in the .squad/config.json file, or you can enable it temporarily using session directives like 'use economy mode'.

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

Layer 3 model selection involves automated AI model choices for agents. Economy mode intercepts this process, substituting selected models with cost-optimized alternatives defined in an economy table.

How will I know if cost-optimized model selection is currently active?▼

Cost-optimized mode is active when spawn acknowledgments include a 💰 indicator, visually signaling that the session is using economy mode for AI model selection.

Does economy mode override my explicitly configured AI model preferences?▼

No, economy mode does not override explicit user preferences stored in Layer 0–2 configurations. It only affects automated Layer 3 model selection when the mode is active.

When should I avoid using cost-aware model selection for AI agents?▼

Avoid cost-aware model selection when your AI agent tasks require high-compute models regardless of expense, as economy mode shifts Layer 3 automated selections to cheaper, potentially less capable alternatives.
