They solved this by implementing a network of specialized sub-agents (backend, frontend, testing, performance, architecture, documentation, Git/quality) coordinated by a main orchestrator agent. This pattern improved reliability, maintained test coverage, enforced quality gates, and created a more predictable "fire-and-forget" development workflow. The approach allows using stronger models for complex decision-making agents and lighter models for simpler tasks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
