Prompt: split the work
to save tokens, keep this main session (fable 5) on planning and frontend tasks, its visual output and ideas are worth the price. for backend and heavier implementation, write a clear spec and dispatch to codex (gpt-5.5 xhigh) with /goal to execute, my quota there sits unused anyway. you may keep the hardest parts in this session.Next Send it to your Fable 5 main session in Claude Code.
Fable 5 burns tokens fast, but write the prompt like this and it’s workable. The main session stays on planning and frontend, where its visual output and ideas are worth the price. Backend and heavier implementation go to Codex with /goal.
A frontend design prompt I’ve been testing that works well. Swap in your own page.
Prompt: frontend redesign
redesign {your page, e.g. pricing page} for this project. full creative freedom, but it has to be visually striking and interactive, with motion effects and a hidden easter egg. search 2026 design trends first and use them.Share this tip
