Token tips: fewer routines, Teach a task, prefer local browser
Every-15-minute routines and VM screen capture burn the weekly pool fast.
What hurt
@SportsPolicyFan's practical tips: give specific jobs (not mega-prompts); keep routines hourly or a few times a day, not every 15 minutes; use Teach a task (up to 10 min browser) to draft skills; prefer local browser over VM browser (~3× tokens); CoS + specialists; dry-run skills before background routines.

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/SportsPolicyFan/status/2113762493566734610 (credit @SportsPolicyFan).
- 2Rewrite mega-prompts into specific jobs for named bots.
- 3Cap routines at hourly or a few times a day — not every 15 minutes.
- 4For browser workflows, use Teach a task and ask the bot to prefer the local browser over the VM browser.
- 5Dry-run each skill with varied inputs before any background routine.
Approval fence
Dry-run first; background routines only after you like the skill.
What to tweak
Steal the three token levers: frequency, Teach a task, local browser.
