SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Economy mode helps reduce AI delivery costs by automatically selecting lower-cost Layer 3 models when activated, while preserving intent at higher layers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session-based economy mode toggling to switch to budget-friendly models during conversations.
  • Persistent config support via .squad/config.json to keep economy mode enabled across sessions.
  • Clear spawn acknowledgments with 💰 indicators to communicate changes in model selection.

Quick Start

Say "use economy mode" to enable it for the current session, or set economyMode: true in .squad/config.json for persistent activation.

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 during a conversation session?▼

You can reduce AI model costs by enabling economy mode, which automatically selects lower-cost Layer 3 models for your session. Simply say "use economy mode" during the conversation to switch to budget-friendly models.

How do I persist AI cost optimization settings across multiple sessions?▼

To persist AI cost optimization across sessions, set economyMode: true in your .squad/config.json file. This configuration keeps economy mode enabled automatically without requiring manual activation each time.

Does enabling economy mode override explicit user model preferences?▼

Enabling economy mode does not override explicit user preferences. It only affects Layer 3 model selection, while Layer 0 and Layer 2 preferences remain governed by explicit user intent and stay unchanged.

What is Layer 3 model selection and when should I use it?▼

Layer 3 model selection is a cost-aware mechanism that automatically chooses lower-cost AI models during conversations. Use it when you need to optimize operating costs without altering higher-layer intent configurations.

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

Yes, you can activate cost-aware model selection using a CLI flag, a session phrase, or persistent configuration. The CLI flag updates the economyMode flag accordingly to enable lower-cost Layer 3 models.
