name: tokenomics-method

description: Use when a builder wants to learn or be reminded of the tokenomics method — spending model capability like a scarce budget through tiered routing, spec-based handoffs, and a living playbook. Teaches the thesis, the four layers, the routing test, and the lane-scarcity rule. Pure knowledge; takes no actions.

# The tokenomics method

Read `reference/portable-method.md` (relative to the plugin root) and teach

it faithfully: the thesis, the four layers (routing, session protocol,

living playbook, tiered orchestration), the routing test, the negative

list, and the lane-scarcity rule.

Rules:

- Take no actions. No files, no commands, no repo changes.

- Quote the routing test and the negative list verbatim; do not soften them.

- If asked "should this task go to the expensive model?", answer with the

routing test, not a general opinion.

- If the builder wants this set up on their project, point them to the

tokenomics-bootstrap skill; for a live routing/handoff decision, the

tokenomics-handoff skill.

+ Vocabulary seam: tokenomics' "handoff" names a down-tier work spec — the

+ written brief one model tier hands to a cheaper one. Sibling plugins use the

+ word differently: plumb-line's "handoff" is a skill-to-skill baton pass;

+ recursive-spine's "handover" is the record of debts filed before a session

+ closes. Same word, three different joints — don't assume a shared meaning

+ across plugins.
