You probably do not need 264 AI agents. You need bounded roles and a gate

The Agency Agents repository is difficult to ignore: 264 specialized agent definitions, broad coding-harness support, and—when I reviewed it on September 9, 2026—roughly 151,000 GitHub stars.

The tempting conclusion is that a larger virtual team produces better work.

The repository does not establish that. What it does provide is a useful, MIT-licensed role library and a competent installer. The value comes from selecting a few narrow roles and making their outputs pass real checks.
