- Token-efficient model routing modifier — shifts tier preferences down to save costs
Ecomode
A modifier that shifts model tier routing to prefer cheaper models. Not a standalone execution strategy — it modifies how other modes and dispatches select models.
What It Does
When active, ecomode shifts tiers down:
reasoning→standardstandard→fastfast→fast(no change)
This means:
- Bug-hunter (normally opus) runs on sonnet
- Worker (normally sonnet) runs on haiku
- Scout (normally haiku) stays on haiku
Activation
Activate:
state write ecomode { "active": true }
Deactivate:
state clear ecomode
How It Works
The model-router-utils module checks for ecomode state when resolving models. The subagent extension reads .pi/state/ecomode.json before each dispatch and passes ecomodeActive: true to resolveModel() if the state is active.
When to Use
- Working on low-risk tasks where speed/cost matters more than quality
- Prototyping or exploratory work
- When token budget is limited
- Can combine with any execution strategy (sequential, parallel, autopilot, ralph)
When NOT to Use
- Security-sensitive changes
- Complex architectural decisions
- Production bug fixes
