## Summary
xavierbr/mike
A paused Claude Opus 5 upgrade aimed at giving Mike users clearer reasoning controls and cheaper repeat chats.
xavierbr's fork centres on updating Mike's Claude option to Opus 5. The intended experience is a chat picker with Low, Medium, and High reasoning settings, with Medium as the default for Opus 5.
It also aims to carry existing preferences forward and make repeat conversations less costly through caching. The only identity signal available here is the GitHub handle xavierbr; the work reads as a focused model-experience update rather than a broader product repositioning.
What's in it
- Claude Opus 5 option Updates the available Claude choice to Opus 5.
- Reasoning controls Adds Low, Medium, and High reasoning levels, with Medium as the planned default.
- Saved-choice migration Intended to preserve existing selections when moving on from the retired option.
- Conversation caching Aims to reduce the cost of repeat conversations and improve visibility into their use.
