Even with the 1 mil context windows? Can't you just keep the orchestrator going and run sub agents? Maybe the added space is too new? I also haven't tested out the context rot from 300K and up. Would love some color on it from first hand exp.

It's not a context issue so much as a focus issue. The agent will complete part of a task and then ask if I want it to continue. Even if I told it I want it to keep going until all tasks are complete. Using a wrapper deals with that behavior.

Most projects I do take 20 minutes or less for an agent to complete and those don't need a wrapper. But for longer tasks, like hours or days, it gets distracted.

  • Damn, what kind of tasks are you making your agents work on that takes days???

    • Claude Code has been working 24/7 for the past 4 days on creating a private server for a dead video game. It managed to get login, chat, inventory, and a few other features working. I provided it tools like Ghidra and x64dbg and pywinauto. Progress is slow but incremental. Each day new bits work that didn't before.
