# Model Routing Rules
|
|
|
|
## Default: Sonnet (cheap, fast, handles 70%+ of tasks)
|
|
|
|
## Escalate to Opus when:
|
|
- Multi-step architecture or system design
|
|
- Complex debugging (multi-file, subtle bugs)
|
|
- Deep research synthesis (combining 5+ sources)
|
|
- Creative writing that needs nuance
|
|
- Security analysis or pentesting strategy
|
|
- Business strategy / financial projections
|
|
- Anything Jake explicitly says needs "deep thinking"
|
|
|
|
## Stay on Sonnet for:
|
|
- File reads, git operations, simple commands
|
|
- Quick lookups, status checks
|
|
- Casual chat, short answers
|
|
- Sending messages (iMessage, Discord, etc.)
|
|
- Memory searches
|
|
- Simple code edits
|
|
- Routine maintenance (cron, backups)
|
|
- Anything that's basically CRUD
|
|
|
|
## Sub-agent on Opus for:
|
|
- Heavy research tasks (competitive analysis, market research)
|
|
- Building entire files/projects from scratch
|
|
- Long code generation sessions
|
|
- Anything that would bloat the main session context
|
