THIS IS ACTUAL F*CKING GOLD
Anthropic just shared one of the best tricks for Claude Code.
The idea: run Sonnet, Haiku and Opus 5.5 together, each one doing only the job it's best at.
Opus-level judgment on every big call, without paying Opus rates for every routine turn.
You just launch Claude Code like this:
claude --model sonnet --advisor opus
here's the split:
→ Sonnet 5.5 runs the session and writes the code
→ Haiku 5.5 explores files and docs in parallel
→ Opus 5.5 stays on call as advisor for the big calls
→ you stop spending Opus on work that doesn't need it
Opus only steps in at three moments:
→ before a plan locks
→ when the same error shows up twice
→ before calling it done
Sonnet builds. Haiku explores. Opus reviews.
JEV engineering is the same move one layer down: the forks that need no thinker (which file, which tool, retry or stop) go to JEV in milliseconds, and the big models only see the ones that split
the full tree
> Sonnet 5.5 runs the main session and edits code
> search maps the repo on Haiku 5.5
> grep finds call sites on Haiku 5.5
> docs pulls the API reference on Haiku 5.5
> Opus 5.5 on call as advisor, reads the whole transcript when consulted
> JEV routes micro-forks in milliseconds
paste the tree and this prompt into Claude Code ↓
"Rebuild my Claude Code setup around this tree:
1. Run the main session on Sonnet 5.5 with Opus 5.5 as advisor.
2. Create three read-only Haiku 5.5 subagents: search (maps the repo), grep (finds call sites), docs (pulls the API reference).
3. Add one rule to CLAUDE.md: consult the advisor before locking a plan, after the same error twice, and before calling a task done.
4. Route fast deterministic forks (tool choice, path selection, retries) through JEV.
Show me every change as a diff first. No edits until I say go."

save it, you'll use this every single day.
Cheers to the next #moving buddy/brother a guy could ask for. Thanks @greenteyed

Nothing will beat that high you got when you spontaneously made up a joke and your friend asks, "where was that from again?" Like you just quoted a classic. #happiness#adrenaline
