serial-sub-agent

You can orchestrate multi-phase work by decomposing complex goals into serial sub-agent tasks. The parent agent preserves the overarching strategy while delegating component implementation to sub-agents, ensuring context is maintained throughout the development lifecycle.

Automating QA verification between phases is handled by enforcing deterministic QA steps after each sub-agent task. The system verifies each phase's output can be integrated before proceeding, ensuring rigorous oversight across the entire project.

Delegating phased development with strict file scopes is achieved through phase-based delegation that rigorously enforces read and write boundaries for targeted files. This ensures sub-agents only modify designated components during their execution phase.

Serial sub-agent orchestration is specifically designed for strategy-to-implementation handoffs. It decomposes high-level strategy into independent, verifiable sub-tasks executed in order, allowing the parent to maintain the big picture while sub-agents handle concrete details.

Splitting a complex project into sequential sub-tasks is the core function of phase-based delegation. It divides work into independent, verifiable phases executed in order, with built-in verification to ensure each phase's output is ready for integration before moving forward.

You should avoid serial sub-agent orchestration when project phases cannot be clearly decomposed into independent, verifiable sub-tasks. It requires deterministic QA steps and strict phase-based scope enforcement, making it unsuitable for highly interdependent or ambiguous workflows.
