When NOT to use opencode-swarm
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your workflow requires continuous real-time human oversight of individual agent operations, since Opencode-Swarm automates and reduces routing conflicts by disabling native agents.
- For teams unwilling to adopt new configuration files like `.opencode/opencode-swarm.json` that require specific project-level overrides setup.
