A trick for efficient multi-agent runs: dispatch work, end turn, get woken up on completion
pvncher · x · 2026-09-13
The author shares a practical trick for more efficient multi-agent use on a personal plan:
- Have Astra plan work, then dispatch it to another thread using the model of your choice.
- Tell it to end its turn after dispatching.
- Prompt the worker thread to message back only when the work is complete.
This avoids polling entirely — the worker thread wakes the originator on its own, saving tokens and wait time.
