Seed the tips corpus with the knobs users can turn to reduce token spend: hermes tools / hermes skills config to trim surface area, /reasoning low|minimal to dial thinking depth down from the medium default, and hermes models to route auxiliary tasks (vision, compression, title gen, session_search) to cheaper backends while the main chat model stays intact. Requested by @micheltamanda under Teknium's tip-of-the-day tweet.
