cost-efficiency-decision-hierarchy-for-automation
Encoded as a permanent protocol: for any recurring automation, evaluate in strict order — cron > script > hook > human-directed session > autonomous agent. Deploy an LLM agent only when the task requires genuine language reasoning that a deterministic alternative cannot provide. Zero compromise on intelligence or capability — maximum efficiency in execution path.
