Multi-agent work is useful when each run has a distinct responsibility and every handoff stays anchored to the same acceptance criteria—not when agents duplicate one another without a review plan.
Give each agent a bounded job
Use Research for uncertainty, Claude or Codex for implementation, and Reviewer, QA, or Security for focused verification. PullPlane recipes preserve the sequence, provider, model, effort, and step instruction for repeated workflows.
Two useful coordination patterns
A sequential recipe can pass research into implementation and then review. For a second implementation perspective, the team can run more than one coding approach from the same card and compare the returned artifacts rather than treating model agreement as proof.
- One shared outcome and acceptance spec
- A named owner for each unresolved decision
- Distinct agent responsibilities and review questions
- One final human choice about what reaches the default branch
Compare concrete artifacts
Review diffs, checks, previews, explanations, and unresolved risks. Agent labels alone do not establish which approach is correct, maintainable, or aligned with the product decision.
