The best model (Fable on medium) writes the plan to a file; a cheaper model executes it as an agent (Sonnet for coding, Opus or higher where judgement is still needed); the best model reviews the result against the plan. Can be turned into a skill.","content":"**When:** the plan is not large enough to run the best model on everything, or the job is big enough that spending the best model on rote work is a waste.\n\n**Built from:** which model to use, agents, the context window.\n\nSplit the job by how much judgement each part needs.\n\n1. Plan with the best model you have. Fable on medium. Have it work out what needs doing, in what order, and what \"done\" looks like. Save the plan to a file.\n2. Execute with a cheaper model. Hand the plan to an agent on a model that fits the work. Coding can go to Sonnet. Anything that still needs judgement stays on Opus or higher. The agent works from the file, not from your window.\n3. Review with the best model again. Fable on medium reads the result against the plan. What was done, what was missed, what was done wrong.\n\nThe best model touches the job twice, at the two points where judgement matters. The middle, where most of the tokens go, runs on something cheaper.\n\n**As a skill:** ask the AI to turn this page into a skill that takes a job description and runs all three steps.","capturedAt":"2026-09-14T05:30:09.372Z","createdAt":"2026-09-14T05:30:09.372Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-15T05:13:41.513Z","spanId":null,"contributor":null,"audiences":[{"kind":"public","createdAt":"2026-09-14T05:30:09.372Z"}],"fingerprint":"1395b37123177867b8095ab924ed5316dd4595dc738bab7b52a2e0e9ec5a518d","revisionNo":"2","structureHash":"a8375bf4a8a4d30d29e84873308bda5e1f473f3be20be63803d53a8fb93e9751","page":"https://lattris.com/by/b/memories/db8c72f4-c691-4445-86d0-0f514dfe198a"},"links":[{"direction":"in","verb":"references","reason":"only if the plan cannot afford the best model on everything, or the job is big enough that rote work should run on something cheaper","hash":"62802565fa640106a759fb2a9e3acfe7d9479ebcdb4cf2afb4ef83d32bd920c6","node":{"id":"331896d2-2e9d-46b1-b56c-048a18ee23eb","handle":"3318","type":"note","title":"Patterns: a library","aiSummary":"Index of the author's patterns, one page each, built from the basics.

Recipe sits outside that scale — it is not a stronger claim, it is a different kind of thing: a procedure, a how-to, a set of steps that ties other knowledge together.
