What are you doing with all the success stories here, or what do I do wrong?

Yeah I get it DeepSeek for the win and all, but seriously. I tried it several times and it feels like talking to the only guy with adhd that’s not good at coding.

Monorepo, instructions, agents.md file available + an agent profile (developer.agent.md) with clear boundaries. Opencode CLI as it‘s harness.

I create a plan (different model). Plan takes like 3 iterations to be final. Then hand off to deepseek.

Well it implements it. Kind off. Except it followed only half the plan. But on the other side it also implemented something I didn‘t ask for. And it left some small task unfinished.

I defined in it‘s profile that it should invoke a reviewer subagent before commiting. Obviously it didn‘t I had to tell it explicitly to do that. But it‘s
Profile also says it should invoke a documenter subagent, which it didn’t so I said invoke the reviewer agent and implement it’s suggestions, once finalized invoke the documenter to write some documentation about the feature implemented. It executed them in parallel, basically letting the subagent document something it will override anyways.

My instructions, the plan and it’s agent profile are very clear about the use of a certain mcp server. It just ignores it. Yesterday, after it implemented a feature I told it „you forgot xyz and you also didn‘t call the mcp. So it now“ it still ignored the mcp directive.

So what am I doing wrong?
