What the skill teaches

A Squad template stored in gh-aw's .squad folder that lowers the cost of a Squad session by switching automatic model choice to cheaper models. Users turn it on for one session with phrases such as 'use economy mode', or permanently through economyMode in .squad/config.json, and switch it off the same way. It only changes the automatic, task-based layer of model selection; explicit user choices, saved defaults and per-agent preferences still apply. A table maps task types to economy models, and spawn messages carry a money-bag marker while it is on.

Capabilities

  • Switch Squad's automatic model choice to cheaper models
  • Save economy mode in .squad/config.json
  • Keep explicit model preferences in force
