Keep the Number of Agent Roles Minimal
kevinkern · x · 2026-07-15
A reply mentions typically using one main driver role paired with three auxiliary roles:
- worker: handles implementation
- reviewer: handles code review
- verifier: handles browser and log verification
Echoing previous advice, if these roles are built as skills, it's best to keep the total under 3–4 to avoid overloading the model.
