I don't look at the writes unless there's something off in the prose or I know my request might be problematic/vague. For the most part the prose is a suitable signal for how well Claude is doing. I really dislike subagents as their transcripts are obscured, so I made something[0] to remedy that. I depend a lot on being able to see not only what the agent did, but the series of decisions that got it there because that helps me to improve my prompting skills as well as to determine if I should prompt a skill for X or memory entry for Y.
