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.
