What’s the most complicated, finished project you’ve done with this?

Recently I used to to finish up my re-implementation of curl/libcurl in rust (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47490735). At first I started by trying to have a single claude code session run in an iterative loop, but eventually I found it was way to slow.

I started tasking subagents for each remaining chunk of work, and then found I was really just repeating the need for a normal sprint tasking cycle but where subagents completed the tasks with the unit tests as exit criteria. So optio came to my mind, where I asked an agent to run the test suite, see what was failing, and make tickets for each group of remaining failures. Then I use optio to manage instances of agents working on and closing out each ticket.
