SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables teams to execute complex implementation plans by delegating work to fresh subagents for each task, ensuring isolated context and rapid iteration without cross-task contamination.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-task subagent execution: Each task runs in its own subagent to prevent context leakage.
  • Two-stage review: First ensure spec compliance, then verify code quality.
  • Plan-driven automation: Works with current session plans to accelerate delivery.

Quick Start

Dispatch a fresh subagent per task from the current plan, run the implementer subagent, the spec-compliance reviewer, and the code-quality reviewer in sequence for each task, and iterate until all tasks pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I isolate context when automating code implementation across multiple tasks?

Subagent-driven development isolates context by dispatching a fresh subagent per task, ensuring rapid iteration without cross-task contamination. Each task runs independently within the same session to maintain a clean execution environment.

What is the two-stage review process for plan-driven code automation?

The two-stage review process first verifies spec compliance, then checks code quality. A fresh subagent executes the task, followed by a spec-compliance reviewer and a code-quality reviewer running in sequence until all tasks pass.

How do I execute complex implementation plans without cross-task context leakage?

You can execute complex plans by delegating work to fresh subagents for each task. This orchestrates plan execution by preventing context leakage and enabling rapid iteration across independently runnable tasks.

Do I need a specific file format to start subagent-driven workflow automation?

Yes, you need a SKILL.md frontmatter file containing a name and description. You can also include optional directories such as scripts, references, and assets to support the workflow execution.

What's the best way to automate spec compliance and code quality checks during development?

Automating spec compliance and code quality checks is best handled by dispatching a fresh subagent per task, then running a spec-compliance reviewer and code-quality reviewer in sequence for each task until all pass.

When should I avoid using per-task subagent execution for plan automation?

Per-task subagent execution targets plans with independently runnable tasks within the same session. If your tasks are highly interdependent or require shared context across steps, this isolated subagent approach may not fit.
