Tip only: Main coordinates; specialists do the heavy work
Pushing every big project through Main/Primary re-digests whole contexts and burns tokens.
What hurt
B (@QuantumTumbler) posted a token-saving tip for Grok Bot and Muse: do not run every big project through your Main or Primary agent. Use side chats or specialist Bots for the heavy work, then bring only the important result back to Main when you need it. Main should coordinate; specialists do the heavy lifting. Tip only.

What to install or create
Heavy work in specialist/side chat → summarize result → Main coordinates next moves.
Bots
Main / Primary
Coordinate; accept summaries from specialists; do not reopen whole projects for heavy work.
Specialist
Own one heavy lane in a side chat or dedicated Bot; return a short result, not the whole dig.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/QuantumTumbler/status/2105792780455051577 (credit @QuantumTumbler).
- 2Keep Main/Primary for routing and decisions — not for rereading entire project dumps.
- 3Open a side chat or specialist Bot for the heavy research, coding, or dig.
- 4When that lane finishes, paste or hand back only the important result to Main.
- 5If Main starts reopening whole projects again, stop and move the dig back to a specialist.
Approval fence
Still approve send/spend/publish yourself; this tip only changes where the heavy chat runs.
What to tweak
Steal the split: Main stays thin; specialists burn the context.
