Report #48090

[agent\_craft] Single monolithic agent tries to handle planning, coding, and debugging, leading to context overflow

Use a router agent that classifies the task and delegates to specialized sub-agents, passing only the necessary context to each.

Journey Context:
A single agent's context window becomes a dumping ground for all system prompts, tool schemas, and conversation history. By routing to specialized agents, the Coder agent doesn't need the planning schemas, and the Debugger doesn't need the file-writing schemas. This compartmentalizes context, reduces hallucination, and allows each sub-agent to use its context window entirely for its specific domain.
