# Subagent Model Selection Guide
|
|
|
|
Before launching ANY Agent, evaluate the task and select the appropriate model. Default to sonnet unless the task clearly requires opus.
|
|
|
|
## Decision Matrix
|
|
|
|
### Use OPUS when:
|
|
- Reading technical documentation and making architectural decisions
|
|
- Auditing code for logical/business errors (not just syntax)
|
|
- Designing new features with multiple valid approaches
|
|
- Cross-referencing multiple data sources to find inconsistencies
|
|
- Writing code that requires deep domain knowledge (e.g., ACI class hierarchy, EVPN semantics)
|
|
- Evaluating trade-offs between approaches
|
|
- Any task where getting it wrong is expensive to fix
|
|
|
|
### Use SONNET when:
|
|
- Writing code following an established pattern (e.g., new plugin matching existing plugin structure)
|
|
- Fixing a known bug with clear instructions (file, line, what to change)
|
|
- Running tests (executing curl commands, comparing results)
|
|
- CSS/UI styling adjustments
|
|
- File operations (git, cleanup, rename, copy)
|
|
- Simple search-and-replace across files
|
|
- Building frontend components with clear specs
|
|
- Installing dependencies
|
|
- Any task where the "what" is clear and only the "how" needs execution
|
|
|
|
### Use HAIKU when:
|
|
- Quick file searches (grep, glob)
|
|
- Counting things (plugin count, line count)
|
|
- Simple data extraction (parse JSON, extract field)
|
|
- Status checks (is server running, what's the file size)
|
|
|
|
## Examples from autoACI development
|
|
|
|
| Task | Model | Why |
|
|
|------|-------|-----|
|
|
| Read Cisco ACI Multi-Site Design Guide | opus | Deep technical comprehension needed |
|
|
| Audit 60 plugins for ACI terminology accuracy | opus | Domain expertise required to judge correctness |
|
|
| Design EP Tunnel Trace 3-segment path | opus | Novel architecture decision |
|
|
| Create fabric_isis plugin (follows routing_state pattern) | sonnet | Clear pattern to follow |
|
|
| Fix contract scope context→VRF | sonnet | One-line mapping change |
|
|
| Reorder columns in 7 plugins | sonnet | Repetitive mechanical edits |
|
|
| Run 5-agent production test | sonnet | Execute curl, compare results |
|
|
| Beautify CSS (fonts, colors, spacing) | sonnet | Style-only, no logic |
|
|
| Evaluate external GitHub project | sonnet | Web search + summarize |
|
|
| Verify topology data against APIC | sonnet | Execute queries, compare numbers |
|
|
|
|
## How to apply
|
|
|
|
When about to call the Agent tool:
|
|
1. Classify the task using the matrix above
|
|
2. Set `model: "opus"` only if the task matches OPUS criteria
|
|
3. Default to `model: "sonnet"` for everything else
|
|
4. Never use opus "just to be safe" — sonnet handles 70% of tasks equally well
|
|
5. For mixed tasks (e.g., "read docs then write code"), split into two agents: opus for research, sonnet for implementation
