ecomode. OMX runtime conventions ($macroinvocation,omxCLI,.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.
