Watching Opus 4.6 - in plan mode or not - and it seems to love using agents almost too much. While good in theory I’m not sure enough context is passed back and forth. I just watched it plan a new feature. It used 3 discovery agents that used a bunch of tokens. Then created a plan agent to write the plan that immediately started discovering files again. The plan wasn’t great as a result. In another instance I was doing a code review with a standard code review command I have. It started by reading all the files with agents. Then identified 2-3 minor bugs. Literally like a 3-4 line fix each. I said “ok great go ahead and resolve those bugs for me”. It proceeds to spawn 2 new agents to “confirm the bugs”. What? You just identified them. I literally stopped it and said why would you spawn 2 more agents for this? The code review was literally for 2 files. Total. Read them self and fix the bugs please. It agreed that was completely unnecessary. (You’re absolutely right ++). I think we need to be a little explicit about when it should or should not use agents. It seems a bit agent happy. I love the idea in theory but in practice it’s leading to a lot of token use unnecessarily. Just my 2c. Have y’all noticed this too? submitted by /u/Minute-Cat-823
