SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Subagent-driven development solves the problem of handling complex, multi-task plans by delegating each task to a fresh subagent with its own context, preventing leakage from the main session and enabling parallelism.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fresh subagents per task ensure isolation and prevent context bleed.
  • Two-stage review after each subtask (spec compliance review, then code quality review) catches issues early.
  • Suits planning, implementation, and verification workflows where tasks are decoupled but must align to a common plan.

Quick Start

Instruct the system to dispatch a new subagent for each task in the plan and apply the two-stage review loop after every subtask to ensure spec alignment and quality.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent context bleed when automating complex development workflows?

To prevent context bleed when automating complex development workflows, delegate each plan task to a fresh subagent. This isolates the context for every subtask, preventing leakage from the main session and enabling parallel execution safely.

What is the best way to ensure code quality and spec compliance in isolated subagents?

The best way to ensure code quality and spec compliance in isolated subagents is applying a two-stage review workflow after every subtask. This process coordinates a spec compliance review followed directly by a code quality review to catch issues early.

How do I distribute plan tasks to subagents without losing alignment to the common plan?

Distribute plan tasks to subagents without losing alignment by enforcing explicit prompts and bounded contexts for each task. A two-stage review loop after every subtask ensures decoupled tasks remain correctly aligned to the common plan.

Can I use subagent-driven development for decoupled tasks that require commit discipline?

Yes, you can use subagent-driven development for decoupled tasks that require commit discipline. The workflow enforces safe execution using explicit prompts, self-review, and strict commit discipline within bounded contexts to ensure overall correctness.

When do I need isolated contexts for task automation in software engineering?

You need isolated contexts for task automation in software engineering when handling complex, multi-task plans. Fresh subagents prevent context leakage from the main session, which is crucial when tasks are decoupled but must align to a common plan.

Why does my multi-task development workflow lose context between subtasks?

Your multi-task development workflow loses context between subtasks because the main session leaks data across tasks. Dispatching a fresh subagent for each task enforces bounded contexts and isolated execution, effectively preventing this context bleed.
