Run your first task
cd my-nestjs-nextjs-project
ada run "add JWT authentication"
# → Classifying... mode=pipeline tier=2 profile=backend-nestjs
# → ReasoningBank: 0 insights (cold start)
# → Phase 1/3: db-schema → agent:db [haiku] θ=rand
# → Phase 2/3: backend → agent:nestjs [opus] θ=rand
# → Phase 3/3: specs → agent:tester [haiku] θ=rand
# → All phases complete. Updating Beta distributions.2
After 10 runs — Thompson Sampling takes over
ada run "add email notification system"
# → Phase db-schema → agent:db [haiku] θ=0.84 (α=7, β=1)
# → Phase backend → agent:nestjs [opus] θ=0.91 (α=9, β=0)
# → Phase specs → agent:tester [haiku] θ=0.78 (α=6, β=2)3
Useful follow-up commands
ada bank stats # Check ReasoningBank contents
ada dashboard # Open monitoring UI at localhost:7821
ada run --solo "..." # Force single-agent mode
ada run --tier 3 "..." # Force a specific model tierCold start
At cold start θ is random (no history). From the 5th similar run onward, Thompson Sampling takes over and routes to the best-performing agents.
