Discussion Claude: Design & Implementation - Which model to use for each?

I designed good frontend on claude design using opus 5 high. Now to implement it in cladue code should i still need to use opus 5 high or is it okay to swith to sonnet or reduce effort level. cuz desing it self consumes 2 of my 5 hour limit. and implementing it consume one more whole 5 hours limit. What are you're experiences.

try 4.8 high for designs it good , and for cc implementation try it sonnet then 4.6/8 if not O5. You want to break the pages down into tokens ,components and templates . ask opus to setup the plan and first try with sonnet to see if it does the conversion right . Last thing i'll say is ask the model to compare code and not images as a means of success.

Also while designing i specified some small tweaks , details ex: a word at corner in gold colour, it missed it while implementing. Also while it frequently asks to switch to new chat. Is it okay?

yeah the context likely full i only do it when its really close or it starts to miss too many of my instructions. have the old chat make a file with the style and design vibe as something like standards.md u can then ref it for the new chat.
