The Token Optimisation Playbook

The full playbook for cheap, sharp agent work. Get observability in first (statusline, burndown, OTEL), compress what reaches the model (rtk, headroom), route who does the work (premium delegates, cheap executes, advisor escalation, model-per-task), then work the long tail: caveman, the right browser validator, scoped scans, fewer MCPs, handover, and a memory system. The capstone of the Token Saving series.
