What problem does it solve?
Choosing the optimal AI model (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) for different development tasks is crucial for balancing quality, speed, and token budget. Incorrect choices lead to wasted tokens or suboptimal results.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Optimal Model Selection: Guidelines for choosing the right model based on task complexity, quality requirements, and context size.
- Token Budget Management: Strategies for cost optimization, including a target distribution (20/60/20) and per-phase budgets.
- Thinking Mode Guidance: Recommendations for when to enable extended thinking and appropriate token budgets for complex reasoning.
- Use Case: Decide whether to use Opus for a complex architecture task, Sonnet for implementation, or Haiku for test generation, ensuring maximum efficiency.
Quick Start
