Mimo - Token Efficient Development Assistant

Mimo is a code manipulation and AI-assisted development tool that provides efficient code generation, editing, and refactoring capabilities with minimal token overhead.

When to Use

User wants code generation or manipulation
AI-assisted development in terminal
Code editing with context awareness
Rapid prototyping

Prerequisites (Token-Efficient)

Mimo installed: Check via mimo --version or install as needed
API configuration as required by underlying model
Verify installation before use

Token-Saving Modes

One-Shot Mode (RECOMMENDED - Saves 40-60% tokens)

mimo "Generate Python class for user authentication" --model auto

Single command, gets result immediately
No conversation history overhead
Best for: code generation, single-file tasks

Batch/Mode Selection

Use appropriate mode based on task complexity:

Simple generation: one-shot command
Complex multi-file: may need iterative approach

Key Token Optimization Tips

Use mimo with specific, bounded prompts

mimo "Create a function that sorts a list" --language python

Specify language/framework when possible to reduce model confusion
```
mimo "Add React hook for state management" --framework react
```
Prefer direct commands over interactive mode when task is well-defined
Cache successful generation patterns - repeatable code patterns can be reused
Use appropriate model for task size - smaller models for simple tasks

Common Workflows (Token-Efficient)

Code Generation (One-Shot)

mimo "Generate a REST API endpoint handler" --language python

Code Editing (One-Shot)

mimo "Add error handling to the auth function" --file src/auth.py

Feature Implementation (Bounded Iteration)

mimo "Add user login endpoint" --language javascript --framework express
# Review output, iterate once if needed

Cost Optimization

One-shot is preferred - Most completed in single command
Specify language/framework - Reduces token waste on context setting
Avoid open-ended prompts - Be specific about what to generate/modify
Use model selection if available for your setup
