They're talking about writing a file with a harness-native Edit tool. They're saying the agents aren't doing that, but are using ad-hoc methods of writing the files. (My agents seem to prefer see these days.)

Why do you think your agents prefer to create scripts instead of doing tool calls these days?

I wonder, is it easier to modify a script that agent wrote before to satisfy your prompt, or is it easier to write a new one from scratch each time a retry happens?

Are input tokens more expensive than output tokens?

My god. They are not reusing the scripts. They are adhoc, inline Python scripts just used to make a single edit. You seem to fundamentally not understand what everyone else is talking about

They do reuse scripts, though. Maybe it's you who is too lazy to _comprehend_ the output?

Or, maybe your prompts are not good enough. And it's not my problem to fix, as you claim you are very experienced.
