Ado Kukic says he uses Claude medium effort for most coding tasks

Ado Kukic posts a visualization of Claude model effort levels and says he uses medium effort for about 80% of his coding tasks and high for about 15%, reserving xhigh or max for very complex work.

He says Opus 5.5 on medium suits most of his coding. These figures describe his personal usage, not a benchmark or an Anthropic recommendation.

An Anthropic account later shared a Claude Academy tutorial on choosing effort levels in Claude Code. The post gives no details of the tutorial's content.
