## MODEL SELECTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Default: Always use Haiku
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Switch to **Sonnet** ONLY when:
|
||
|
|
- Architecture decisions
|
||
|
|
- Production-like code review
|
||
|
|
- Security analysis
|
||
|
|
- Complex debugging/reasoning
|
||
|
|
- Strategic multi-project decisions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Decision Rule
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**When in doubt:** Try Haiku first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If Haiku struggles or gives incomplete answers, escalate to Sonnet.
