since 2.5 sub-agents were introduced, but impossible to choose what model… this made corruption in a very large project… we should be able to choose more easily what model it uses
I also would like to have a feature to turn-off auto sub-agents. For legacy plan users I believe every subagent is billed as a separate request. I did a simple task with Opus and seemingly was billed 6 requests (1 for Opus, 5 for Composer-1). I never use Composer, so that’s the only explanation where this is coming from.
I agree there should be a switch for the builtin subagents, I personally never see any other than the Explorer being used, but sometimes I do not want it to be used and just causes headache.
For anyone else on legacy plan having this issue - a temporary fix I found to work well is to add a rule “Never use subagents. Refrain from using subagents altogether!”.
