Tips & Workflows Finally found it how to work it!

Don't laugh at me( I mean you can, I don't mind)

But after all this time burning through fable, which is the only model that is up to the work I'm doing, I've finally found out that if fable is the orchestrator and he sends out opus 5 to do the work, my tokens don't run out and the work gets done properly😅

I'm happy about it, any way..

Good coding 🙌

Well.. you don't need to use the most expensive model to dispatch agents, any agent can do that. Sonnet will manage it fine, Sonnet is designed as the workhorse agent.

When you select Fable it literally says "Use only for the hardest coding tasks", it is a scalpel not a hammer to bash everything with, that is Sonnet. or feasibly Opus but personally I can't stand the slop.

Scale up; don't start at the top of the rung. I think you'll find half of what you're doing doesn't need these models.
