SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Subagent-driven development addresses the challenge of coordinating complex plans by delegating tasks to isolated subagents and applying structured reviews, enabling focused work and faster iteration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fresh subagent per task with a two-stage review process: spec compliance followed by code quality.
  • Clear task flow: per-task isolation, prompt templates, and defined escalation/retake paths for blocked work.
  • Use Case: teams planning multi-step software development tasks can parallelize work while maintaining traceable decisions and quality checks.

Quick Start

Start by dispatching an implementer subagent for the first task in your plan and apply two-stage reviews after each task.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate software development workflows with isolated subagents?▼

Automating software development with subagents works by delegating each planned task to a fresh subagent. It enforces a two-stage review process for spec compliance and code quality, enabling focused work and faster iteration while managing task dispatch and branch finishing.

What is the two-stage review process in subagent-driven development?▼

The two-stage review process in subagent-driven development consists of a spec compliance review followed by a code quality review. This structured mechanism ensures that each isolated subagent's output meets the plan's requirements before proceeding.

How to parallelize multi-step software tasks while maintaining traceable decisions?▼

Parallelizing multi-step software tasks while maintaining traceable decisions requires dispatching isolated subagents for independent or loosely coupled work. Applying prompt templates and defined escalation paths ensures structured reviews and traceable outcomes across the plan.

Can I use subagent-driven development for tasks that are mostly independent or loosely coupled?▼

Subagent-driven development is specifically designed for tasks that are mostly independent or loosely coupled. It supports fast iteration by dispatching a fresh subagent per task, preserving context while enforcing spec compliance and code quality checks.

What are the limitations of delegating development tasks to fresh subagents?▼

Delegating development tasks to fresh subagents works best for independent or loosely coupled tasks requiring fast iteration. It may face limitations with tightly coupled workflows, though defined escalation and retake paths help manage blocked work.
