Having a 20-agent system is a million times more powerful than 100 agents working in silos. Last night, I stayed up way too late fixing and improving my digital workforce for my AI Agent Mastermind program but here are a few of the improvements I made ⬇️ - the hub and spoke model is definitely key but orchestration and documentation are the actual unlock; I gave my chief of staff (Simon) an assistant (Toby) and Toby handles the paperwork and notes and governance and reporting the daily standup - Claude kept getting confused with the word “agent” because everything is an agent so now I can refer to it as an AI CoS (Simon) with a named assistant (Toby), then under that is 6 Avengers (named after the Friends characters for ease), then under each Avenger is a set of 2-5 sidekicks (named by the task they execute), then if they need to create temporary parallelism or fanouts, they spawn “civilians” which are unnamed with no permanent file. - Moved from 5 Avengers to 6 for better task delineation (sorry Phoebe, you should have always been here! That’s my b! Might even bring in Gunther, who knows!) - Added tighter spawning rules (see image) and now allow for Simon and Toby to also spawn “civilians” - Added better post tool use to improve the documentation process - Added that Toby is keeping track of the historical team tasks to see if there are common issues to fix or promotions to make - Added an autonomy boundaries document to keep track of system-wide tool use - Changed civilians and sidekicks to use Haiku instead of Sonnet (will see if performance degrades significantly and might change back) - Improved shared external memory process because that was a dang mess - Also built out a parallel researcher with the same sidekick/civilian model to improve the speed of my research and it works like a charm ———————— 2026 agent capabilities are, in fact, insane. Will be interesting to teach hundreds of people how to do this. (You could probably take this tweet and image and ask Claude to start it for you - let me know how it goes.)
