Other people are saying "Opusplan" but I want "Sonnetplan" as in, Sonnet 4.5 for plan mode and Haiku for execute mode

Me too! It's 1 AM on a saturday and I'm already almost 60% of the way through my weekly limit! I gotta get better at using Haiku to implement!

You can follow my comment at the end of the issue. Just claude --model haiku then go to plan mode and voilà
