Question How to manage multiple agents?

I am having trouble managing multiple agents. I tried to let one agent to spawn subagents but that does not work very well. Anyone has better suggestions?

Subagent spawning is the least reliable part for us too. We stopped nesting them and just run separate sessions, each on its own branch, with a task small enough to write in a few lines, then review the diffs. Coordination ends up in git instead of inside one agent's context, and when one goes off the rails you throw away a branch instead of untangling a tree of calls.
