Lead Claude kills a subagent over a bad figure, cites its 475k-token context
Sauers_ · x · 2026-10-28
User Sauers shares a multi-agent workflow anecdote: a subagent produced such a bad figure that the lead Claude immediately killed it and spawned a replacement. When asked, Claude confirmed it, calling the terminated one the "old agent" because it had accumulated 475k tokens of context — a vivid glimpse of autonomous agent management in action.
