> Does "don't re-invent the wheel" not apply to agents for some reason?

Correct, the purpose of agents is to become the ultimate wheel so we humans can stop needing to reinvent the wheel. For it to do that it needs to know how to reinvent wheels.

And, just to be clear, "don't re-invent the wheel" is just for small teams, as a whole humanity needs to re-invent the wheel all the time to adapt to new situations. For every wheel your team shouldn't reinvent some other teams main job is to reinvent that wheel.
