ADE Cuts CLI Skill Size, Sonnet Holds
ADE’s merged PR splits its agent CLI skill into a 23.5 KB core with on-demand references, down from 50.7 KB. Claude Sonnet matched or beat the previous skill across all 14 evaluated tasks.
This is a strong case for routing agent context instead of dumping it wholesale, though the result remains an internal 14-task comparison.
- –On-demand references preserve specialized guidance without bloating every agent prompt.
- –Subagent-by-default behavior and one default per scenario reduce contradictory CLI instructions.
- –Cross-chat agent controls create a more coherent mesh for managing parallel work.
- –Typechecks passed, but broader quality tests and the GPT-6 Luna rerun were still pending.
- –No performance impact was measured, and remote-machine subagent reporting remains incomplete.
