ProblemA roster of five Bots becomes five chat windows you manually shuttle text between.
TechniqueMake one Bot the only one you message. It checks whether another Bot owns the task, delegates first, does the work itself only when no specialist fits, and brings the result back to a single conversation.
Why it worksIt protects the mission contract, preserves shared context, inspects handoffs and escalates only decisions that need you.
When to useAny roster past two or three Bots.
When not toNever without the send-once and short-thread rules; the orchestrator is the largest source of avoidable spend.
