Disable Plan Skill and Agent Delegation | Generated by AI
The plan mode is a skill, but the slowness you’re seeing is from delegation (subagent spawning for reviews). Two things to disable:
- Disable the plan skill so the agent doesn’t write plans:
hermes skills config
Or remove it:
rm -rf ~/.hermes/skills/software-development/plan/
- Disable delegation to stop subagent spawning (this is the real bottleneck):
hermes config set delegation.max_concurrent_children 0
Or disable the delegation toolset entirely:
hermes tools disable delegation
After either change, /reset to start a fresh session.
The delegation spawning (review → spec check → code quality review, each as a separate subagent) is what’s burning time and tokens. Disabling the delegation toolset forces the agent to do everything inline — faster, fewer API calls.
