I've done many custom low token output CLIs like this for my day job and it's something I expect to see much more of.

How would you compare that approach to spawning sub agents to operate high-token tools?
If your goal is to use less overall tokens to solving a task, then spawning subagents is not the best idea.

Generally, they will have to use more tokens to reach the same outcome, per some research: https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.02460
