Claude Code: Excessive Agent Calling and Request Interpretation Error

Bug Description

Claude Code is over-interpreting simple user requests and performing unnecessary excessive work.

Problem Situation

User Request

• Simple request to prepare a nextjs agent

Claude's Excessive Response

1. Literally interpreted documentation rules about 'all master agents must participate'
2. Unnecessarily called 5 agents simultaneously using Task tool:

• software-architect
• ui-ux-designer
• typescript-language-expert
• nextjs-unit-test-developer
• nextjs-e2e-test-developer

Expected Behavior

• Simply acknowledge readiness for Next.js work
• Only call relevant agents when specific work requests are made

Impact

• User confusion
• Unnecessary resource usage
• Decreased work efficiency
• Loss of user trust

Suggested Improvements

1. Better Context Understanding: Accurately grasp the scope and intent of user requests
2. Progressive Agent Calling: Call agents sequentially as needed
3. Request Confirmation: Re-confirm user intent before large-scale work
