Glancing at what it's doing is part of your multitasking rounds.

Also instead of just prompting, having it write a quick summary of exactly what it will do where the AI writes a plan including class names branch names file locations specific tests etc. is helpful before I hit go, since the code outline is smaller and quicker to correct.

That takes more wall clock time per agent, but gets better results, so fewer redo steps.
