A practical workflow for cutting Claude Code usage by about 50%:
- Install the OpenAI Codex plugin inside Claude Code.
- Split work by model strengths: use Fable 5 high for planning, Codex 5.6 xhigh for execution on a Codex plan without API calls, and Fable 5 max for review.
- The author argues planning and review are where Fable justifies its cost, while Codex handles the heavy execution work.
