Troubleshooting & FAQs

Agent not understanding my codebase?

Provide more context about your project structure, dependencies, and specific requirements. Share relevant code snippets and explain the architecture.

Which model should I use?

Start with Sonnet for most tasks. Use Haiku for simple, repetitive tasks. Switch to Opus for complex architectural decisions or when you need the highest quality output.

Can I use multiple agents simultaneously?

Yes! You can configure multiple agents and switch between them as needed. This is particularly useful when working on different aspects of a project.
