Claude Max user asks: which model should write prompts for which, and how to structure a token-hungry workflow
bloodfiya77 · reddit · 2026-10-16
A Reddit user asks how to best use a Claude Max subscription: should ChatGPT or Gemini draft prompts to paste into Claude, should Opus 5.5 at higher effort write prompts for smaller models (or vice versa), or just talk directly to the target model/effort. Use cases include YouTube scriptwriting, editing, animation, and rebuilding a 57-page, 24-chapter training manual into a semi-interactive trading guide on Netlify, plus a portfolio gallery. They burned through weekly tokens using Opus at max, moved from separate chats to Projects, and note projects don't share context. It's a help request with no resolved answers yet.
