Clone the Smart Model's Brain Into the Cheap One
Clone Fable 5's brain into the cheaper models before the free window closes: the audit prompt, the skill-file conversion, and the instructions file that lets Opus pick up where Fable left off.

You will get a ranked list of your repeated work: the weekly report, the outreach emails, the invoices, whatever your version is. That list is the raw material for everything below.
