“you can also have the agents basically share context with each other through a file like agent MD. … maybe they send a pull request into the file as they learn new things. Uh downside here is that sometimes agents will try and learn unimportant things. … doing some kind of human review seems to help.”

Take

When ten parallel agents all hit the same problem, OpenHands wants the fix shared between them. Brennan compares sharing all context, having a human paste in hints, letting agents edit a shared AGENTS.md with human review, and agent-to-agent messaging, which adds non-determinism.
