Offload Tasks to LM Studio Models
What this skill does
Reduces token usage from paid providers by offloading work to local LM Studio models. Use when: (1) Cutting costs—use local models for summarization, extraction, classification, rewriting, first-pass review, brainstorming when quality suffices, (2) Avoiding paid API calls for high-volume or repetitive tasks, (3) No extra model configuration—JIT loading and REST API work with existing LM Studio setup, (4) Local-only or privacy-sensitive work. Requires LM Studio 0.4+ with server (default :1234). No CLI required.
