Get the idea.

I was wondering what’s the real scenario that needs agent chaining?

I implemented the task chaining using “dependsOn” field, but there’s no real usage now. Can we just write a pipeline prompt using the numbering? 1. Do this, 2. And do this?…

When do you think it’s useful to chain coding agents step by step?

Chaining really shines when steps have conditional branching based on previous output. A numbered prompt works fine for linear tasks, but falls apart when step 3 needs to decide between two different paths depending on what step 2 returned.

Also useful when steps have wildly different context needs - you don't want to stuff everything into one massive prompt. Keeping agents focused tends to produce cleaner outputs than one giant instruction list.

That makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for the feedback.
