Orchestrating Claude Code subagents with a planning script

THIS IS A PURE F*CKING GOLDMINE Anthropic just shared one of the best tricks for Claude Code. The idea: let Opus 5.5 write the plan as a script, and let a swarm of cheaper agents run it. Bigger jobs and way fewer Opus tokens, because the script holds the plan and Opus only sees the final answer. You just launch Claude Code like this: claude --model opus --effort ultracode here's the split: → Opus 5.5 turns your task into a workflow script → Haiku 5.5 agents scan every file in parallel → Sonnet 5.5 agents patch each fix in its own isolated copy → you stop burning Opus context on a hundred agent transcripts Opus only shows up at three moments: → writing the workflow before the run → reading the verified results after it → signing off before anything ships Opus plans. Haiku scans. Sonnet ships. JEV engineering is the same move one layer down: the forks that need no thinker (which file, which tool, retry or stop) go to JEV in milliseconds, and the big models only see the ones that split the full tree > Opus 5.5 runs the main session and writes the workflow > scan audits every file on Haiku 5.5 > edit patches each fix on Sonnet 5.5 in an isolated copy > verify cross-checks every finding on Sonnet 5.5 > Opus 5.5 reads only what survived verification > JEV routes micro-forks in milliseconds paste the tree and this prompt into Claude Code ↓ "Rebuild my Claude Code setup around this tree: 1. Run the main session on Opus 5.5 with ultracode on. 2. In every workflow, run read-only scan stages on Haiku 5.5 and edit stages on Sonnet 5.5, each edit in its own isolated copy. 3. Add one rule to CLAUDE.md: every finding gets an independent verifier agent before it's reported, and fix loops stop after two rounds with no progress. 4. Route fast deterministic forks (tool choice, path selection, retries) through JEV. Show me every change as a diff first. No edits until I say go." ↳ https://t.co/1MiKDqGANA save it, it'll come in handy.
