## AI overview

The article describes using a swarm of Claude, Codex, and Gemini agent CLIs to research 130+ release-roadmap issues and produce implementation specifications. The process used 818 agent runs over four days at an approximately $576 cost, followed by a mid-release comparison of the research with the team's actual work.

## Source excerpt

We turned one release's roadmap -- 130+ umbrella-epic issues -- into fully-researched implementation specs using a swarm of three different agent CLIs (Claude, Codex, Gemini): 818 runs, ~155M+ tokens, ~$576, four days. Then, mid-release-cycle, we ran a snapshot to compare the research against reality -- with no expectation that anything was "done" yet. Here is the pipeline, the numbers, and the honest verdict.
