SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Subagent-driven development addresses the challenge of executing complex implementation plans by delegating work to fresh subagents per task, enabling rapid iteration with clean context and built-in reviews.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fresh subagent per task to avoid context pollution and enable parallel, isolated execution
  • Two-stage review after each task: spec compliance first, then code quality
  • Orchestrated plan execution for multi-step workflows with automatic completion tracking and branch management

Quick Start

Provide an implementation plan and trigger a per-task subagent workflow to execute tasks with two-stage reviews.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute multi-step implementation plans without polluting the AI context window?

Subagent-driven development executes multi-step implementation plans by delegating each task to a fresh subagent, ensuring clean context and isolated execution. This approach prevents context pollution while accelerating development through automatic completion tracking.

What is the two-stage review workflow for AI code generation?

The two-stage review workflow validates AI-generated code by first checking spec compliance, then verifying code quality. This structured review process runs after each subagent completes its task, ensuring implementation correctness and maintainability before proceeding.

How do I automate task distribution for independent development steps?

Automate task distribution by providing a structured implementation plan where each step is executed by a fresh subagent. This orchestrated workflow applies to plans with mostly independent tasks, enabling parallel execution while maintaining strict review checkpoints.

Does subagent-driven development require a specific plan input format?

Yes, subagent-driven development requires structured plan inputs and per-task prompts to function correctly. The workflow depends on these explicit inputs to orchestrate subagent execution, manage branches, and trigger the two-stage review process for each task.

When should I avoid using subagents for software development tasks?

Avoid subagent-driven development for workflows lacking mostly independent tasks or strict review checkpoints. The approach is designed for multi-step plans where isolated execution is beneficial, making it unsuitable for highly interdependent or unstructured development tasks.
