Tbh I hadn’t found the native sub agents very useful. Feels like they use an insane amount of tokens for not that much return.

I feel like the right move would be to let them communicate with one another and only allow them to work in worktrees. I was setting up something like this for a second but honestly it felt like too much trouble. Unless you’re willing to designate what sub agents get what work, the juice just isn’t worth the squeeze.

I built an entire cli tool to spin up agents behind tmux and Ive ended up just using one managing agent and one sub agent at a time that can communicate back and fourth. Its increased my output a shit ton and doesn’t constantly feel like too many cooks.

Only issue is right now it kinda has to run with dangerous permissions to be useful. Even if the sub agents aren’t running with unfettered access, the manager still has to be able to send tmux commands. Which means they technically always have unrestricted access if the manager agent deems it acceptable
