## Tips & Tricks
* The `gpt-4` model is powerful, but [relatively expensive](https://openai.com/pricing) and does not support
[JSON Mode](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation/json-mode) at the time of writing. Consider using
one of the turbo models — such as `gpt-4-turbo-preview` or `gpt-3.5-turbo` — to find the right balance between price
and performance.
* Use `custom_prompts` to hone the action's analysis in on things you care about, and to avoid things you don't. There
is no point, for example, in having the action repeat what your static analysis tooling does for you in real-time
while coding.
* Use an `if: '! github.event.pull_request.draft'` job conditional and `ready_for_review` trigger to control costs and
ensure that you are only running the action on pull requests that are truly ready to be reviewed.
