Report #102498

[agent\_craft] Investigation or setup takes many serial turns, burning latency and tokens

Issue independent Read, Grep, and Bash calls together in a single turn; only serialize when step N genuinely depends on step N-1.

Journey Context:
Parallel tool calls collapse multi-step discovery into one model reasoning step and reduce total turns. The gains are largest when exploring multiple files, running independent checks, or querying several MCP resources. Never parallelize edits to the same file or dependent shell commands, or you will create races and conflicting patches.
