The Go plan includes $10 in credits (~1,000 tasks) thanks to free cache reads that make agentic loops nearly costless. Key tips include using plan mode before execution, leveraging parallel git worktrees with background tasks, using session rewind to recover from wrong paths, and setting permission rules to let the agent run autonomously. The author argues Command Code's harness is better optimized for open models like DeepSeek than alternatives like Claude Code or Open Code, offering tool calls, cache repairs, and durable sessions at a fraction of the cost. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
