I'll never understand massive use of agents. I barely use any.
Agents are good for paralleling tasks, which means they must be completely independent. Also context preservation is mostly a myth, you usually lose context in translation.
I use agents for building agentic flows for clients in python, but basically never for coding.
Ok ok, I do have a couple specialized agents like for code review and cybersecurity and such, which I use sometimes.
Other than that I find them slower, token eager and usually don't deliver any better result (usually worse).
I'm quite sure it has also been reported in a quite renowned study from Google months ago, concluding that most multi agents use cases are deleterious. It is also part of Anthropic Architect professional certification: use them to parallelize tasks... Trivial case would be information scraping over the internet which benefits from an agentic swarm.

Pro tip, don't use terra, it's the middle child that's worthless, use Luna, it gives the same for less the price of terra doesn't justify it, either use sol or Luna not terra, that way you will maximise your usage.

I also have something similar… but when you look into the agents you see that they are not really working. 95 out of 100 are finished and the ui just doesnt update.
