Set a `max_tokens_per_day` limit in your configuration. Also, be careful with 'recursive' skills that can call themselves multiple times. I usually test new skills with a cheaper model like GPT-3.5-Turbo first.

I highly recommend using Claude 3.5 Sonnet for the logic parts, it's way more reliable than GPT-4 for shell commands.

Pro tip: use the 'Search' skill with Tavily for way better research results.

I set this up on my Raspberry Pi and it's been running for 3 months straight. Incredible stability.
