Claude Code with Opus 4.8 tends to fan out many agents (which I guess are Sonnet/Haiku agents). I added this global rule, and I think it helps the quality of the produced code a lot:
Re-review and re-validate every claim, finding, and change yourself with your maximum effort before acting on it or reporting it as done.
Read the actual code, run the actual checks, inspect the actual state — do not accept an agent's summary as proof that something works or is correct.
An agent saying "I verified X" is not verification. Verify X yourself.
If an agent reports findings (bugs, results, conclusions), independently confirm each one. Discard or correct anything that doesn't hold up under your own scrutiny.
The agent's work accelerates yours; it does not replace your judgment or your responsibility for the final result. ```
Sure, it burns more tokens than it would otherwise (because it double checks itself), but at least weaker models are not limiting Opus 4.8 with their outputs, and the quality of outputs is A LOT better (because it double checks itself).
