Agent Orchestration

Overview

You delegate tasks to specialized agents with isolated context. Parallel-dispatch independent tasks/reviews; serialize iterative loops; do trivial work inline.

Workload Balancing

Every dispatch has spawn cost — skill-load, context hydration, per-turn overhead. Pick the tier that matches the work:

Tier 1 — Trivial: do it inline

The orchestrator executes the task itself, no subagent. Use when the task fits in a single edit, reads no unfamiliar files, and needs no domain skill beyond what the orchestrator already has loaded.

• Typo or comment fix in one file.
• A 2-line constant change the orchestrator has already read.
• Removing a known-dead import.

Dispatch cost > work content. Just do it.
