Summer 2026 meta (well, mine): Sol is for routine work, Opus for frontend/design, and Fable for more complex / ambiguous / architecture work. Fable works extremely well to drive Sol as a subagent. Fable is the only one you can actually trust to not look at the code, but Sol is somehow still more pleasant to work with, especially in fast mode. Opus is the enemy, and it will make you insane if you talk to it for too long.

> Fable works extremely well to drive Sol as a subagent. Curious what method you like for doing this? I've tried a few options and I haven't found one I'm happy with yet.

  I'm using a slimmed down version of this skill: https://github.com/steipete/agent-scripts/blob/main/skills/codex-first/SKILL.md https://github.com/steipete/agent-scripts/blob/main/skills/c... The important bit I found is to explicitly remind Claude that Sol 5.6 is a very smart and good model; otherwise, Claude performs its normal condescension towards any non-Claude model behavior and insists on reading all the diffs in full and testing all of Sol's work, negating any token savings.
