changed the title
Six headless builds of the same app, with every token in the transcript attributed to what put it in the context. A third of the first run's cost was the agent reading Reboot's own source — authorizers.py, the pydantic compiler, idempotency.py, aborted.py, the codegen template — to answer questions these skills didn't. That is the most expensive way to learn anything: the request carries the whole context and adds more source to it for every later turn.

I've run the reboot agent on the same prompt a couple of times; the very first run (current main) cost $39 and took 45 min to build. Now we've removed the plan stage and started writing files early which produces still high-quality output (at least on the example I've used). The comparison was done against supabase project ($10 and ~16 min), but supabase didn't end up writing a backend servicer, only sql migration file + web, so arguably we are now on the same stage but with a much bigger skill-set.
With the skill changes I've been able to build the app in ~16 min and ~$12, which is a huge improvement already.
