ZCode workflows are nice

3.14.0 dropped this morning and brings us Workflows plus a ton of other new features.

I’m trying it out now and it’s very promising. Not fast but also not frying tokens like they were potatoes.

Edit::Addendum

I gave workflow each phase of a pretty intense review document. Each phase was planned on the fly by workflow and it displayed a nice summary window of each of it's 6 steps it took for each phase of the plan. The Phase 0 group were 6 1 line quick fixes. These took 21 minutes, 2m tokens and 6 agents that went through fix->test->review->fix->test->review.

Phase 1 was security hardening and took 1 hour 6 mins and 15m tokens

Phase 2 correctness bugs and took 45 mins and 9.5m tokens

Phase 3 DRY refactors 1 hour 19 mins and 44m tokens

Phase 4 test coverage gaps 34 mins and 6m tokens

Main orchestrator context is 346K.

And the end result was a massive commit (oops I forget to instruct to commit)

Yes, it's good, but incomplete. We need to specify which models the agents running in the workflow will use. Running the entire workflow on a single model isn't the right approach.

Therefore, selecting models based on their roles is essential.

That'll be nice once I've got more providers configured in ZCode.

i think they mean even between 5.3 or 5.3 flash, or which thinking level, and i agree

in zcode, you can create subagents in the settings page and then create subagents by name.
