A developer has found that splitting a single AI subagent designed for code review into three specialized agents—one for general review, one for test writing, and one for security auditing—significantly improves the quality and depth of the reviews. This approach avoids the attention dilution that occurs when a single agent tries to handle multiple complex tasks simultaneously. By granting each specialized agent only the necessary tool access and a focused prompt, they can perform their specific functions more effectively, leading to more comprehensive and insightful code analysis.
