i disable subagents. it also helps that i work in microservice size repos, so a single agent can keep the full relevant context. subagents waste alot of unnecessary tokens doing code exploration that the main agent is going to end up duplicating, i think they make more sense for monorepos.

anecdotally I've tried the same plan on different branches with both approaches (single agent with subagents implement the full plan vs. my little session per phase app) and then had agents judge the code quality and my approach worked better and saves tokens. horses for courses.
