I agreed with much of this, but I started looking into the enterprise ai systems that large companies are making, and they use agent control via software.

So I tried it. It's much better.

Software is just better at handling discrete tasks that you understand, like mapping agent pathing. There's no point giving that to an AI to do.

The Cordinator "Main Agent" should just call the software to manage the agents.

It works really well in comparison.

You can have the software call claude code via command line, sending the prompt in. You have it create full detail logs of what it's doing, and done, and created.

Maybe I'll change my mind, everything is moving so fast, and we're all in the dark searching around for ideas, but so far it's been working pretty well.

You do lose in the middle visibility to stop it.

I also have it evaluating the outputs to determine how well the agents followed their instructions. That seems key to understanding if more context adds value when comparing agents.
