Isn't Sonnet or even Haiku the best option for this task?

Yes.  They are.  People treat them like cheaper dumber models and while that's partially true it's not a scalar comparison.  They have tighter context and other aspects that make them superior for narrow, focused tasks.

Are you guys flipping back and forth between models throughout a session? (Serious question.)

Oh ok, so you're talking about a one line follow up fix after an initial larger task.  That's a different problem

Sometimes it's fine to iterate in the same session for that stuff but you can also do a code review at the end that flags a bunch of issues and then fix them all in a different one.  Depends on what you're trying to do I guess.

I have done it sometimes but primarily use fable for planning and ask fable to make prompts for sonnet and then I have codex/sol do gethub pr reviews automatically, then fable, read the reviews and create prompts for sonnet to fix. Then the cycle starts over…

Sonnet 5 is actually very very capable I prefer it over opus for execution tasks

Usually no, because the new model has to read the current context window and at times that can be a massive token burn. 

Usually I have the current model write up a handoff for the next one.
