AgenC defaults to one agent after multi-agent benchmarks fell 39%–70% behind
An X thread explains why AgenC 0.9.0 now defaults to one agent, isolates parallel writers, and treats integration as an evidence problem instead of a prompt instruction.
The cited evidence comes from two benchmark results:
- CAID’s PaperBench Code-Dev isolation ablation:
- shared-workspace multi-agent: 55.5
- single agent: 57.2
- worktree-isolated multi-agent: 63.3
- Scaling Agent Systems on sequential PlanCraft:
- every evaluated multi-agent architecture finished 39.1%–70.0% below the single-agent mean
The thread’s takeaway is that parallel agents sharing one checkout can interfere with each other even if prompts warn them not to. AgenC therefore gives every parallel writer a spawn-unique Git worktree and only returns an integration reference when the output is committed and clean.
