SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Economy mode shifts Layer 3 model selection to lower-cost alternatives while preserving Layer 0/1/2 preferences and explicit user directives.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Switch Layer 3 auto-selection to cost-optimized models when economy mode is active
  • Persist economy mode with economyMode: true in .squad/config.json or use session-scoped activation
  • Include a 💰 indicator in spawn acknowledgments to signal cost-aware behavior

Quick Start

Say 'use economy mode' to enable cost-optimized models for the session.

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 by switching to cheaper alternatives automatically?▼

Cost-optimized model selection switches Layer 3 auto-routing to lower-cost alternatives during active sessions. It respects Layer 0/1/2 directives and explicit user intents while reducing overall operating expenses.

How do I persist economy mode settings across sessions?▼

You can persist economy mode by setting `economyMode: true` inside the `.squad/config.json` file. This ensures cost-optimized model selection remains active for future sessions without requiring manual reactivation.

Does economy mode override existing model preferences and explicit user directives?▼

Economy mode does not override existing preferences. It strictly respects Layer 0, Layer 1, and Layer 2 directives alongside explicit user intents, ensuring critical model requirements are preserved while optimizing costs.

Can I enable cost-optimized model selection for just the current session?▼

Yes, you can enable cost-optimized model selection for just the current session by saying 'use economy mode'. This applies temporary cost optimization without modifying the persisted `.squad/config.json` file.

What indicates that cost-optimized model selection is currently active?▼

A 💰 indicator in spawn acknowledgments signals that cost-optimized model selection is active. This visual cue confirms that the system is currently routing tasks to cheaper model alternatives.
