The Anthropic guide notes that sub-agents are worth keeping in only three scenarios: quality degradation from context bloat has been measured, parallel processing is needed and subtask context can be discarded, and too many tools or conflicting instructions make a single agent unable to cope.

UnverifiedIn Agent scenarios, prompt engineering has three gaps: the jump from single-turn Q&A to multi-turn guidance, the discreteness of data sources and context breaks, and the lack of evaluation standards.75% similarUnverifiedContext engineering is good at providing information, but not at continuously exerting control during execution; when a task requires multiple steps, multiple rounds of error correction and dynamic strategy adjustment, merely providing materials cannot guarantee the AI stays on track.72% similarUnverifiedWhen the Agent has tried three methods and all have failed, needs a tool outside the allowlist, or is approaching a deadline with insufficient confidence, it should escalate to a human; escalation boundaries turn a potentially infinite search into a finite search with human involvement.72% similarUnverified能力不够的模型会因为要处理Harness的优化任务而分散本身的交互能力，导致整体表现下降72% similarUnverified当任务链条本质上线性连续、额外Agent的质量提升无法测量或上下文窗口足够长时倾向于使用单Agent70% similar
