اضبط مستوى الجهد في Claude Code لكل مهمة مع ultrathinkMatch Claude Code effort to the task with ultrathink and effort

After reading you can pick the right effort level in Claude Code for each task, and use the ultrathink keyword for one deeper turn without changing your settings.

Who this guide is for

Anyone using Claude Code who wants better results on hard tasks and less cost and waiting on easy ones.

Key terms

Effort
A setting for how much the model thinks before it answers. Levels are low, medium, high, xhigh and max. Higher levels mean more thinking and more time.
ultrathink
A word you type inside your message. Claude thinks harder on that one message only. Your session effort setting stays the same.
Default level
The default is high on most models. On Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 the default is medium.

The steps

  1. Step 1

    Check your current level and open the slider

    Type /effort with nothing after it. A slider opens and shows the current level for the model you are using.

    Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, Haiku 5.5 and Fable 5.1 offer low, medium, high, xhigh and max. Older models such as Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 have no xhigh. If you pick an unsupported level, Claude Code uses the highest supported level below it.

    Tip: Press Enter in the slider to save the level as your default. Press s to apply it to this session only.
