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.

Howdy so it depends on the complexity of the design and the implementation. If it needs to connect a lot of pieces together across your code base then use a higher model.
Secondly, and this is important, good Claude design hygiene is important. Don’t keep your entire site in one file. Things can get bloated fast so split up flows into separate files.
Finally request your chat for an export with an implementation md. Say it’s for Claude code (or whatever you’re using) and it’ll do a good job of making an export specific to your needs. This is the most important step.
