Decision Matrix: Team vs Sequential
Decision Matrix: Team vs Sequential
| Task profile | Use team? | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| < 5 files, single domain | No | Sequential is faster than team overhead |
| Writing WRK items / skills | No | Small, sequential, ~minutes each |
| 3+ independent workstreams > 20 min each | Yes | Parallelism pays off |
| Bulk file transforms (50+ files) | Yes | Bash agent per batch |
| Research + implementation (separate concerns) | Yes | Explore agent + Bash agent |
| Cross-repo changes (each repo independent) | Yes | One agent per repo |
| WRK-205 knowledge graph (115 files) | Yes | 3 parallel streams |
Rule of thumb: If you would finish faster doing it yourself than explaining it to a teammate, do it yourself.
