Dev: Multi-agent orchestrators should support forking instead of 200 agents re-reading the same files
Liu_eroteme · x · 2026-09-29
A developer argues multi-agent workflows waste effort because orchestrators lack a fork primitive: hundreds of agents repeatedly re-read the same repo config (formatting, linting). He proposes exploring repo config once, then forking that base state to assign individual work — pointing at shared-context and state-forking design in agent orchestration.
