Stable Pattern That Works

  1. Start with Lite + Thinking Off.
  2. If the answer feels too shallow, turn Thinking On.
  3. If the task is clearly harder or more important, move to Pro.
  4. Keep a small set of trusted combinations for your most common work.

Common Mistakes

  1. Starting with Pro for every simple task.
  2. Turning Thinking on for routine checks.
  3. Changing agent and prompt at the same time, which makes quality harder to judge.
  4. Forgetting to specify the output format you want.

If results are weak, improve the prompt first: goal, source, timeframe, and output format usually matter more than switching immediately.
