README

Excerpt

Triage is a free-model job

Deciding what to read is a cheaper problem than reading: a one-sentence summary plus a needs-reply flag per item. Skimming twenty long items by hand runs about an hour; reading twenty one-liners and opening only what earned it is about fifteen minutes. On a top-tier paid model that triage volume costs real money every month; on a gateway's free tier it costs nothing (OpenRouter free models, as of 2026-06: 20 requests/minute and 50/day, rising to 1,000/day once $10 of credit has ever been added). Your job is to wire the free lane with a schema strict enough that the output is usable, and to keep anything sensitive out of it.
