Running a 3-Agent Team Across Three Repos: One Agent Acts as the PM
ChanceKelch · x · 2026-10-03
The author gave a team of three agents a substantial assignment: a linear epic with ten subtasks crossing three repos.
Key points:
- The agents coordinate themselves in Slack
- One acts as the PM who can escalate directly to the author
- Results look promising so far, though the author notes it may yet be "a very expensive mistake" — multi-agent coordination costs are unknown
