In execution mode - Automatically switches to sonnet for code generation and implementation This gives you the best of both worlds: Opus’s superior reasoning for planning, and Sonnet’s efficiency for execution.

r/ClaudeCode on Reddit: Opus plan mode = GodMode ($100 plan)

August 13, 2025 -

Been using the $100 Claude Code plan for 2 months. The default /model (Opus for 20% of usage, then Sonnet 4) was meh. Opus burned out in 15 mins on basic tasks, like driving a Ferrari to grab the mail. The new "Opus Plan Mode" is a game-changer! Worked 8 hours today, never hit the Opus limit. Opus handles the big thinking, Sonnet cranks through the work. I push back on plans until they're spot-on, and I 1 shot complex tasks all day. I skip heavy configs since Claude Code updates often as I'm here to get stuff done fast, not master it. If you haven't tried Opus Plan Mode, you're missing out!

Does it use opus on the initial process of every query then dispatch work to sonnet, or it just switch to opus when it detected the query is a planning task?

I use Serena MCP and the usage is much less! Serena creates guidelines that let’s Claude find what file it needs to edit and the context much faster and straightforward way as compared to how it usually does it! Saves alot of tokens and avoids context bloating.

New mode lets Opus handle planning while Sonnet executes the work. Basically automates what everyone was already doing manually. Super useful!

Hooray, superb job from the Claude Code team!

Claude Opus 4.1

Scores were achieved with a prompt addendum to both the Airline and Retail Agent Policy instructing Claude to better leverage its reasoning abilities while using extended thinking with tool use. The model is encouraged to write down its thoughts as it solves the problem distinct from our usual thinking mode, during the multi-turn trajectories to best leverage its reasoning abilities.

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Claude Code Plan Mode

April 7, 2025 -

I've just recently tried using the new plan mode and holy hell this is amazing! Previously, before plan mode iwould ask claude code to create a PLAN_TASK_X.md to plan how we are going to implement task X, now i just shift+tab to switch to plan mode, come up with a plan together, once im happy with the plan i just shift+tab to go edit or auto mode and instruct it to execute the plan.

I am finding this very effective and really streamlines my workflow now.

one request is i hope that once you confirm that you ar ehappy with the plan is that it auto switches to edit mode to execute the plan.

It would be cool if you could set a different model for 'Plan Mode' versus 'Act Mode'. That would be smooth...

Yeah this seems to be a stealth update but much needed. My workflow is kind of the same. I always want to make sure the coding agents and me understand all the main and edge from the requirements/tasks before going with the auto/yolo mode. I'm so used to the Ctrl-Shift-A to switch between Plan/Act mode in Cline and was wondering if Claude Code ever decide to update it. +1 for the auto-switch feature request too.
