The author shares tips for using **5.6 sol**: 1. **Remove old distractions**: Disable community skills and plugins first, especially bundles packing 20+ skills. The author compares 5.6 sol to someone "just promoted from senior to staff," suggesting that excessive instructional constraints become micromanagement and degrade performance. 2. **Enable codex memory**: Turn on memory in settings and continuously feed Codex feedback on preferred outputs so it remembers your preferences. 3. **You usually don't need the 'ultra' tier**: The author uses sol high for 95% of tasks and extra high occasionally. Ultra is only used in rare sessions. It's recommended to start with high and only upgrade if unsatisfied. Overall, a highly practical guide on how to optimize your coding agent workflow.
