All these problems are solved.

> Agents can’t manage tasks

Say "use subagents".

> Agents can’t delegate

Say "use subagents that are Haiku/Sonnet"

> Agents have never heard of agents

This isn't even a problem: the author is just confused why Anthropic didn't bake all of Claude Code documentation into the harness, but of course it makes no sense to pollute context like that.

> Agents suck at communicating plans

True, communication could be better.

> Agents take any excuse to stop working

Just use /loop.

> Agents are only useful when they take unnecessary risks

Just use a sandbox. OK, technically, this one isn't literally solved by Anthropic/OpenAI, but it is solved by a million agent sandbox startups.
