Yes, the more you let agents loose, the less you are in control and the more time you spend later cleaning up their mess.

It is tempting letting them loose, after they delivered unexpectedly good results for a while, but for me it is not worth it. Manually approve and actual read. (And manually edit CLAUDE.md etc. if necessary. )

This is exactly why I don't like those "swarm" approaches with 8 Claude Code's running in parallel. Every time I've tried it I instantly lose control and become out of touch with the codebase. The quantity of the produced output is simply too fast & large to follow, so I tune out and it becomes a 100% vibe coded project.

start with good prompts and good intentions , drift into sloppy prompt vibecoding ,finally "still not working" prompt in a loop.

this has been my story in every one of my personal projects.
