ASC CLI Maintainer Tests Codex Subagents
The ASC CLI maintainer reports using GPT-5.6 Luna subagents at max reasoning under a GPT-5.6 Sol main agent at high reasoning to optimize increasingly costly release workflows. The experiment was partly funded with leftover Cursor credits.
This is a practical case for routing agent work by cost and complexity rather than running every task on a flagship model.
- –Sol handles orchestration and difficult decisions while Luna takes on cheaper parallel subagent work
- –Multi-agent workflows can improve release automation, but unchecked fan-out may erase the savings
- –ASC CLI gives Codex meaningful real-world scope: App Store Connect operations, repetitive release tasks, and production consequences
- –Cursor credits effectively become experimentation capital for comparing agent economics
- –Developers should measure cost per completed release, not just model price or raw task speed
