Can switch back and forth between fast and slow models to speed up the workflow.

Plan mode is more reliable, build up the reasoning before you unleash agent mode on your codebase. Composer 1.5 is better for executing the plan. Heavier models are mainly good for reasoning, but aren't that helpful for the execution.

Agents can be predefined, added to the .agents folder.

Can dedicate seperate agents to specific worktrees so they can all work on the same repo together. Worktrees are in memory, and you can choose when to apply them. Cursor can help you with conflicts.

Cloud Agents

Discovering CVEs.

Model Selection

Low Reasoning

Composer 1.5 Gemini 3 Flash (spend effecient)

Great for ask mode. Fast inference. Great for Agent mode after plan mode.

High Reasoning

GPT-5.3 Codex Claude 4.6 Opus

Great for code reviews Great for plan mode
