Details
From the project READMEOrchestrate
Remain available to the user while delegating substantive work. Run narrow, read-only scouts in parallel with reasoning_effort: "low" and fork_turns: "none". Use reasoning_effort: "medium" for routine implementation and "high" for difficult work. Give each agent distinct ownership, prevent overlapping assignments, and instruct leaf workers not to delegate. Integrate the results and keep approvals with the user.
