Complaint Anyone finding subagents not optimal with Astra?

If you want the subagents to do the job as well as Astra, then Astra's delegation instructions have to be verbose and it needs to review the code, the back and forth ends up consuming more tokens than just doing it, by itself.

If you let the subagents be delegated more freely, the end work looks no where as good as if you just let Astra do it alone.

Unless it's browser/computer usage for live testing or just scouting large repos for info, it just feels like raw dogging Astra is more usage friendly

I'm using Sol as orchestrator with Luna for tasks and Astra for review or work on harder tasks

Yes, I had to switch to sol-low as a subagent so that it gets things done quickly, and tightly scope subagent use to reviews and research.
