DEPRECATED shim — cost-optimized execution modifier. Do not route here; use the `ultrawork` skill for maintained high-throughput parallel execution instead.

Based on SOC occupation classification
Run a regression-tests-first, smell-by-smell deslop/refactor workflow that preserves behavior and raises signal quality. Use when the user asks to "cleanup", "refactor", "deslop", or when follow-up code has duplicates, dead code, weak boundaries, or fallback-like slop.
Run read-only deep repository analysis and return a ranked synthesis with explicit confidence, concrete file references, and clear evidence-vs-inference boundaries. Use when a user says "analyze", "investigate", "why does", "what's causing", or needs grounded cross-file explanation before any changes are proposed.
Deprecated compatibility shim for Claude advisor requests. Use `ask` with the claude backend instead.
Deprecated compatibility shim for Gemini advisor requests. Use `ask` with the gemini backend instead.
Ask a locally installed external advisor CLI (Claude or Gemini) for focused questions, reviews, brainstorming, or second opinions, and capture a reusable artifact. Use when the user wants a Claude/Gemini second opinion, "ask claude", or "ask gemini".
Strict autonomous delivery loop that runs deep-interview, ralplan, ultragoal, code-review, and ultraqa in order with automatic re-planning when gates are not clean. Use on "autopilot", "autonomous", "build me", "create me", "make me", "full auto", "handle it all", or "I want a/an…".

Ported from oh-my-codex
ecomode. OMX runtime conventions ($macroinvocation,omxCLI,.omx/state directory) are replaced with WorkBuddy idioms (Skill tool, Agent tool, task list,.workbuddy/memory).
Hard-deprecated. Do not invoke or route this skill. Cost-optimized execution is
now handled by the ultrawork skill (high-throughput parallel execution).
ultrawork.ultrawork (it spawns teammates via the Agent tool).references/agent-tiers.md.This file exists only to preserve the catalog-visible ecomode compatibility
contract while canonical execution guidance is handled by ultrawork.
It preferred cheaper model tiers for delegated work:
| Default Depth | Ecomode Preference |
|---|---|
| thorough | standard, thorough only if essential |
| standard | cheap first, standard if needed |
| cheap | cheap — no change |
The underlying principle — prefer the lightest model that can do the job, escalate
only when needed — is preserved in references/agent-tiers.md and should be applied
whenever you spawn teammates with the Agent tool.
No action needed: this skill is deprecated and is never auto-routed.
