  • It's easier to be token-efficient in domains you already have expertise in.
    • If you don't have expertise, you just have to throw everything at the wall and apply meta-cognitive patterns.
      • For example, have it spin up adversarial review sub-agents often.
    • To get good results from LLMs requires meta-cognition.
      • You have it in the domains you have expertise in, automatically.
      • You don't have it in other domains.
      • Some structures can provide it, especially with LLMs that have infinite patience.
      • But it takes time, tokens, and you have to remember to do it.
