Fable - anything requiring "thinking" or judgement--usually design and architecture
replyOpus - smart execution (most coding, knowledge work)
Sonnet - dumb execution (basic coding, generic text/organization/information tasks)
Haiku - really only reason is lack of auto mode becomes tedious. I only use it indirectly with sub agent delegation for text analysis (summarize web page, document). However, it's quite fast and capable
Great summaary!
replyWhen you put it like that, it almost resembles having a classroom of kids with different personalities and talents. Some are thoughtful, some creative, some quick in execution. You choose wisely the path each takes and allocate tasks accordingly. Gives me chills to think of it...
Those distinctions make sense. I guess I'm more interested as to "when" you make that decision. What triggers you to spend the cognitive energy on deciding which model?
replyNew feature, rearchitecture -> Fable uses superpowers to create plan
replyDebugging/analysis/small scripts -> Opus
Non software engineering -> Sonnet
