Developer Lucas Meijer offers a one-line architectural take: squint hard enough and codemode—the pattern of having models express actions by writing code—is simply a subagent. It receives a task, produces intermediate artifacts, and hands results back to the orchestrating loop, placing codemode squarely within existing agent-composition abstractions.
