A task-based decision guide: which Claude tool to use for ask, think, speed, reason, delegate, ship
rubenhassid · x · 2026-11-12
rubenhassid shares a practical routing guide for Claude features: use Chat (Cowork merged in) for quick asks with "No web search & files"; Opus 5.5 as default for thinking (tokens are cheaper than assumed); Low effort for grammar/reformatting/translation; High effort for one-shot ambitious work, never Extra/Max; Auto mode instead of Manual for delegation; and Claude Code for shipping code. Full guide + prompts available free via email.
