Using Opus as an on-call advisor in Claude Code so agents don't stall while you're away
dotey · x · 2026-10-22
AI blogger dotey shares a Claude Code workflow: configure Opus as an advisor (e.g. /advisor fable), so when you're away and unavailable, the main agent consults the advisor to confirm decisions instead of stalling.
It's a main-executor-plus-advisor division of labor: a cheaper, faster model does the work and escalates judgment calls to Opus, reducing interruptions and wait time.
