Skill instructions
SCOPE ✅ THIS SKILL PRODUCES: - A modified Layer 3 model selection table applied when economy mode is active - economyMode: true written to .squad/config.json when activated persistently - Spawn acknowledgments with 💰 indicator when economy mode is active ❌ THIS SKILL DOES NOT PRODUCE: - Code, tests, or documentation - Cost reports or billing artifacts - Changes to Layer 0, Layer 1, or Layer 2 resolution (user intent always wins) Context Economy mode shifts Layer 3 (Task-Aware Auto-Selection) to lower-cost alternatives. It does NOT override persistent config (defaultModel, agentModelOverrides) or per-agent charter preferences — those represent explicit user intent and always take priority. Use this skill when the user wants to reduce costs across an entire session or permanently, without manually specifying models for each agent. Activation Methods | Method | How | |--------|-----| | Session phrase | "use economy mode", "save costs", "go cheap", "reduce costs" | | Persistent config | "
