If you're trying to have multiple agents produce consistent outcomes, isn't it better for them to eventually build a repeatable workflow?
bisonbear•1mo ago
good question - however I don't think these are necessarily mutually exclusive.

I have repeatable workflows that harness the benefits of multiple agents. Repeatable workflows drive consistent results for single agents. Using multiple agents allows you to fully explore the problem space.

An example of using these concepts harmoniously would be creating a custom slash command that spawns sub-agents that each have custom prompts, causing them to do more exploration. The commands + agent prompts make the flow repeatable + improvable
