The Opus/Haiku Arbitrage: The surprising reason why using Anthropic's smartest model for every task is a massive waste of money, and how to route cheap tasks to Haiku. Anatomy of a Custom Subagent: A step-by-step guide to building .md files with YAML front matter, progressive disclosure triggers, and strict tool guardrails to protect your codebase.
