subagent-driven-development

Subagent-driven development automates code review by dispatching a fresh subagent per task and integrating mandatory reviews between tasks. This catches issues early and ensures quality gates are applied consistently across your implementation plan without manual intervention.

Assigning each task to a dedicated subagent prevents context pollution by isolating execution. Each subagent focuses on a single task with fresh context, avoiding accumulated state or decision drift that occurs when one agent handles multiple sequential tasks.

Yes, this approach is optimized for independent tasks within a single session. It dispatches a new subagent per task, enabling rapid iteration with per-task isolation, testing, code review, and traceable commits—ideal when tasks don't depend on shared state.

Subagent-driven development combines speed with quality by dispatching fresh agents per task and enforcing inter-task code reviews. Built-in quality gates between tasks enable rapid progress while catching regressions and maintaining code standards automatically.

Task isolation works best when tasks are largely independent. Highly interdependent tasks requiring shared context or frequent coordination may incur overhead from subagent dispatch and context reset. Assess task coupling before adopting this model.

No dedicated infrastructure is required. The skill integrates automated code reviews and per-task testing into the workflow. However, you should have clear acceptance criteria and review guidelines defined for each task before execution.
