Report #43133
[architecture] A 'Manager' agent dictating every single step to worker agents, resulting in massive latency and token waste
Delegate goals, not steps. The orchestrator should define the 'what' and constraints, allowing the specialized agent to determine the 'how'.
Journey Context:
LLMs are slow. If a manager agent plans 5 steps and calls a worker for each, you pay 5x orchestration latency. Giving the worker the end goal allows it to use its own internal chain-of-thought and tools to solve it in one go, drastically reducing token usage and end-to-end latency.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
