My trick for using Opus is using it exclusively as a subagent managed by Fable.
"Use Opus subagents for this work where possible" is all it takes generally.
In my experience Astra/Sol are both quite good as workhorses, but not at Fable's level. I use them every day very successfully and I'm very picky.
- spockz 20d agoQuite good as work horses? To me Luna is the work horse and Sol and Astra are prancing thoroughbreds. If I use Sol or Astra for anything other than curated reasoning and planning I will burn through my usage limits in an hour.
- pkulak 20d agoSame. I use Luna for research/scout/test subagents, Sol for coordinator, Terra for delegate, and Astra high for review and simplify. Even with Astra in there, it’s fresh context, and I’m consistently amazed by how far I can stretch my $20 subscription with really good results.
- nickthegreek 19d agowhat harness?
- spockz 16d agoWhy do you use Sol for the coordinator? Does it also do planning and design? Because otherwise you are cranking Sol turns on very mundane orchestration jobs.
- extr 20d agoI used to do this but recently I switched to having Fable 5.1 spawn forks of itself rather than Opus subagents. Yes it's more expensive but you don't pay for reads that already happened pre-fork, and you end up doing less rework since Fable agents are just much smarter.
- jacobgold 20d agoThat makes sense. I'm also using $200/mo Claude subscriptions, so I want to take advantage of the other 50% by using Opus.
