SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Executing a multi-task implementation plan in one session pollutes context, loses progress after compaction, and ships unreviewed code. This Skill orchestrates plan execution through isolated subagents with per-task reviews and a persistent ledger. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fresh subagent per task: Dispatch an implementer subagent with a task brief file, keeping the controller's context clean for coordination. - Two-stage review loop: Run a spec-compliance and code-quality review after every task, plus a final whole-branch review, with a bounded five-round fix loop and escalation to more capable models. - Crash-safe progress ledger: Track completed tasks, fix rounds, and parked findings in a per-plan workspace so work resumes correctly after context compaction. - Use Case: Given a written implementation plan with eight independent tasks, execute all of them in the current session — each implemented, tested, reviewed, and committed — then finish the development branch. ## Quick Start Execute the implementation plan at docs/plans/feature-plan.md using subagent-driven development, dispatching an implementer and reviewer for each task.

Frequently Asked Questions about subagent-driven-development

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute an implementation plan with subagents?▼

Dispatch a fresh implementer subagent per task with a task brief file, then dispatch a task reviewer on the resulting diff. Track progress in a ledger file and run a final whole-branch review after all tasks complete.

When should I use subagent-driven development vs executing plans directly?▼

Use it when you have an implementation plan with mostly independent tasks and want to stay in the current session. Tightly coupled tasks or plans needing a parallel session fit manual execution or a separate executing-plans workflow better.

How does the review fix loop work for each task?▼

Each task gets a spec-compliance and code-quality review. Findings trigger up to five fix rounds: rounds 1-3 resume the original implementer, rounds 4-5 dispatch a fresh implementer on a more capable model, each followed by a scoped re-review.

What happens if context is compacted mid-plan?▼

Progress survives in a per-plan ledger file under .superpowers/sdd/<plan-name>/, which records completed tasks, commits, and fix rounds. After compaction, the controller resumes from the ledger and git log rather than memory.

Which model should implementer and reviewer subagents use?▼

Always specify the model explicitly. Use cheap models for mechanical single-file tasks, standard models for multi-file integration, and the most capable model for architecture work and the final whole-branch review.
