ecomode

> Ported from oh-my-codex `ecomode`. OMX runtime conventions (`$macro` invocation, > `omx` CLI, `.omx/` state directory) are replaced with WorkBuddy idioms > (Skill tool, Agent tool, task list, `.workbuddy/memory`). # Ecomode (deprecated) **Hard-deprecated. Do not invoke or route this skill.** Cost-optimized execution is now handled by the `ultrawork` skill (high-throughput parallel execution). - For "don't stop until done" loops, use `ultrawork`. - For parallelism, use `ultrawork` (it spawns teammates via the Agent tool). - For lighter-weight model selection when spawning agents, see `references/agent-tiers.md`. This file exists only to preserve the catalog-visible `ecomode` compatibility contract while canonical execution guidance is handled by `ultrawork`. ## What Ecomode Used To Do (historical) 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. ## Disabling No action needed: this skill is deprecated and is never auto-routed.
