Okay, this is the first Claude Code setup I’ve seen where 3 agents outship 20.
Everyone’s unleashing 20 subagents and getting a swarm that drifts, duplicates work, and burns an Opus bill for nothing.
The unlock isn’t more agents. It’s structure:
→ one orchestrator owns the plan, agents only execute pieces → depth 3 as a review fan-out: a reviewer spawns one verifier per finding → scope every agent to one job, not “improve the codebase” → cheap models do the volume, Opus 5 only on the lead and reviewer
A capped team of 3 beats a swarm of 20. On quality, on cost, and on whether it actually ships.
Full setup in the article.
