Why I Stopped Routing Agent Work by Hand

Copying work between agent windows is routing, state tracking and failure recovery disguised as clipboard use.

Using several coding agents exposed a job I had quietly assigned to myself.

I decided which session needed each result, copied the relevant part into its window, remembered what context it had already seen and noticed when an unanswered request had become stale. If a session died, I inspected the filesystem and reconstructed enough of the handoff for another one.

That is a router, a delivery ledger and a recovery process. Calling it “copy and paste” only hides the state.

The first SkyeEngine Code client removes the clipboard part. The larger requirement is to make the routing and delivery state explicit enough that I can supervise it rather than embody it.
