This blog post is full of small inconsistencies that make it read like a low quality SEO piece.
> We also extract a shared context file (shared-mr-context.txt) from the coordinator's prompt and write it to disk. Sub-reviewers read this file instead of having the full MR context duplicated in each of their prompts. This was a deliberate decision, as duplicating even a moderately-sized MR context across seven concurrent reviewers would multiply our token costs by 7x.
No, it would not, because neither is the prompt of the subagent 100% of its token usage, nor will the "shared-mr-context.txt" which is then being read have a size of zero compared to the creation of this shared context.
> You don't need seven concurrent AI agents burning Opus-tier tokens to review a one-line typo fix in a README.
Yeah, well you wouldn't have anyways. Earlier in the post it says that Opus is "exclusively for the Review Coordinator".
