Stop wasting Opus: a 5-layer Claude Code setup with Sonnet, Haiku and Opus on call

A 5-layer Claude Code workflow: Sonnet 5.5 runs the main session on high effort, Haiku 5.5 handles mechanical work (file discovery, AST scans, grep, docs) in parallel without eating context, and Opus 5.5 is on call only for deep reasoning — plan review, repeated test failures, pre-ship regression checks. Paired with an article on running Claude Code in YOLO mode safely via layered guardrails.
