💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the issue of context pollution and quality degradation during long-running AI tasks by delegating individual steps to fresh, specialized subagents with a rigorous two-stage review process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Delegation: Automatically dispatches subagents for specific implementation tasks, ensuring each agent operates with a clean, focused context.
  • Two-Stage Review: Enforces a mandatory spec compliance check followed by a code quality review for every task to ensure high-quality, reliable output.
  • Use Case: Use this skill to execute a multi-step feature implementation plan, where subagents handle the coding, spec verification, and quality assurance for each component of the feature.

Quick Start

Use the subagent-driven-development skill to execute the implementation plan located in docs/plans/feature-plan.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute multi-step implementation plans without losing context quality?

Delegate individual tasks to fresh subagents to execute multi-step implementation plans. This prevents context pollution and quality degradation by ensuring each subagent operates with a clean, focused context during long-running workflows.

What is the two-stage review process for subagent task delegation?

The two-stage review process enforces a mandatory spec compliance check followed by a code quality review for every delegated task. This ensures subagent task delegation produces high-quality, reliable output that meets software development requirements.

How do I automate spec compliance and code review during feature implementation?

Automate spec compliance and code review by applying a subagent-driven workflow that dispatches specialized agents for implementation and verification. Subagents handle the coding, spec verification, and quality assurance for each feature component.

Can I use subagent delegation for Test-Driven Development workflows?

Subagent delegation supports Test-Driven Development workflows by managing subagent lifecycles to enforce iterative review loops. Subagents execute specific implementation tasks while systematically verifying code quality and spec compliance throughout the process.

Do I need a specific plan format to start subagent-driven development?

Subagent-driven development requires an existing implementation plan document, such as a markdown file located in a project directory. The skill orchestrates execution of the complex implementation plan by delegating its individual tasks to specialized subagents.

When should I avoid using subagents for software development tasks?

Avoid using subagents for simple, single-step software development tasks that do not require systematic spec compliance or iterative code quality verification. Subagent delegation is designed for complex, multi-step workflows requiring two-stage reviews.
