What's Wrong?

The Problem: I'm on the $100/mo Max Plan, but my @agent-explore is completely dead. Whenever I try to use the /feature-dev workflow or call the explorer directly, it kicks off and immediately kills the session saying the agent is "out of credits" or usage is hit.

The main session still works, but the sub-agents seem to have hardcoded sonnet in there. It makes the /feature-dev experience pretty broken right now.

What Should Happen?

Use insetad of sonnet use opus or haiku or something like that.

Error Messages/Logs

Your agent is out of credits.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Be on the $100 Max plan.
  2. Use sonnet till you hit a limit.
  3. Run a /feature-dev task or use @agent-explore to dig into a codebase.
  4. Watch the agent fail with a "usage limit reached/out of credits" error almost instantly.

Sonnet (default)

Is this a regression?

Additional Information

Yeah the issue is quite clear, the sonnet model is hardcoded.
It would be nice to have a follow up question, "You hit your sonnet limits, do you want me to try again and use opus or haiku instead?" .
