Practical multi-agent orchestration for Codex splits work into scout, worker, and coordinator roles
pvncher · x · 2026-07-25
This article lays out a practical multi-agent setup for Codex-style work.
- GPT-5.6 Sol is split into roles such as Scout, Worker, and Smart Worker, each with different reasoning depth.
- A coordinator delegates tasks, avoids duplicated investigations, and tracks progress across parallel agents.
- Agents can message each other directly through a shared messaging system, and concurrency defaults to four agents per thread.
- The piece also explains when to use fresh-context agents versus inherited context, and how to keep leaf agents from spawning more agents.
