💻 Run Claude Code on Sonnet and bring in Opus only for the hard calls
Claude Code has an advisor tool: your main model does the routine work and consults a stronger one at key moments. Claude decides when, usually before committing to a plan, when an error keeps coming back, or before calling a task done.
The setup, from Anthropic's docs:
1. Launch with claude --model sonnet --advisor opus
2. Or type /advisor opus mid-session. It's saved as your default, and /advisor off turns it off
3. For file exploration on a cheaper model, define a subagent named Explore with model: haiku, or set CLAUDE_
