Open CreditOpt.ai and have it ready before you start
Install Credit Optimizer v5 as a Manus skill. Copy the SKILL.md file into your /home/ubuntu/skills/credit-optimizer/ directory. The skill activates automatically on every task, analyzing your prompt before execution begins.
Before each task, Credit Optimizer scores your prompt complexity (1-10). Score below 6 routes to Standard mode (cheaper). Score 8+ routes to Max mode (higher quality). Quantitative tasks route to DeepSeek, large context to Gemini. This alone saves 40-60% on routine tasks.
Apply Smart Testing strategy for long content. Instead of generating everything at once in Max mode, test one section first in Standard mode. If quality passes your threshold, continue in Standard. Only escalate to Max if needed. This section-by-section approach saves 50-75% on content-heavy tasks.
Monitor your savings over time. Credit Optimizer tracks every routing decision and reports cumulative savings. After 1 week of use, review which task types consumed the most credits and adjust your prompts accordingly. Most users see 40-50% savings in week 1, reaching 60-75% by week 3.
