A cheat sheet covering Claude models, prompts, and skills. Model selection: Haiku 4.5 for speed, Sonnet 5 for daily work, Opus 5 for hard thinking, and Fable 5 for initial framing.
Core Hack: Start with Fable 5 (High effort) to let Claude ask questions and create a plan, then switch to Opus 5 for execution. The first prompt is critical.
Key Prompt: "I need [task] for [goal]. Ask me questions first. Use AskUserQuestion. Then give me the plan."
Useful Skills:
- /about-me: Loads personal context.
- /my-company: Loads goals and business context.
- /anti-ai-writing: Removes generic AI phrasing.
Gotchas: Long chats degrade quality, costs rise with turns, and new tasks require fresh chats.
