Research: opencode-ensemble

Cached research evidence for opencode-ensemble (not authority).

Problem: Use when coordinating OpenCode Ensemble teams, delegating independent coding work, reviewing teammate output, or running staged parallel waves. NOT for single-agent tasks, nested team-of-teams, or teammate subagents using team tools.

Stack / assumptions: OpenCode with the @hueyexe/opencode-ensemble plugin installed

Comparable alternative: A general-purpose agent instruction without a scoped skill contract

Repo summary:

Use OpenCode Ensemble as a coordination system, not a shortcut for avoiding judgment. Parallel agents work best when the lead owns decomposition, sequencing, review, merge, and verification.
