Trying to determine whether I am doing something fundamentally wrong or if @ampcode + orbs doesn't fit my natural workflow. I have a sense that maybe it is the type of projects I generally work on that makes a difference. Love the agent! Love runners! Struggle with orbs.

Which part?
I tend to like doing a lot of child threads. Coordinating that between explicitly separate hosts (orbs) is far from trivial. And because you can't charge agent mode for simple subagents, child threads seem to be the only option for delegating to a different agent mode/model. And…
I feel this as well, but haven’t used orbs yet. I do wonder if this is less “it doesn’t do what I want/how I want” and more “I should try their way”

It's a genius move on several fronts. I'm trying to incorporate a lot of the ideas into my own tooling. But "every thread starts from a blank slate" seems to lend itself more to product/feature work for narrowly scoped impact. Doing research and planning that sprawls far and…
I suspect the people moving to orbs and loving it either came from a heavy git worktree workflow or would have benefited from a heavy git worktree workflow but never made the jump.
Sadly, where I think I could best leverage orbs is at work but we're restricted from working with external systems, so I can't really prove for myself if I'm right about that. :-/
