The author is intentionally limiting concurrent agent sessions, consolidating daily interactions into two main hubs:
- General admin agent: Handles routine administrative tasks
- Development agent: Manages coding and development work
While sub-agents are still used frequently, reducing the number of active interfaces and contexts has noticeably improved focus. The core takeaway: using more agents isn't always better; the key is controlling your simultaneous exposure to different workstreams.
