Astra as lead agent: delegating to subagents to balance quality and usage
pvncher · x · 2026-09-05
- kevinkern shares a setup: use Astra as the lead agent and delegate implementation to Terra subagents, tuning the setup to keep quality high without burning through usage.
- pvncher argues skipping the middleman is often better: Astra itself can implement tasks in a fraction of the time and better.
- He also suggests a tiered approach: Astra-low delegating to Astra-high, highlighting emerging patterns in multi-agent orchestration.
