SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinate complex implementation plans by dispatching independent subagents for each task within the same session, enabling fast iteration without context switching while preserving task boundaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fresh subagent per task isolates work and reduces cross-task interference.
  • Two-stage review after each task: spec compliance review followed by code quality review.
  • End-to-end workflow for plans with multiple independent tasks, testing, and consolidation before finishing.

Quick Start

Dispatch a structured plan with independent tasks and let the system deploy a fresh subagent for each task, followed by two-stage reviews.

FAQPage Schema
How do I dispatch independent subagents for multiple tasks without cross-task context pollution?

Dispatching independent subagents per task isolates work and reduces cross-task interference by orchestrating each task separately within a single session. This method deploys a fresh subagent for each task to prevent context switching.

What is a two-stage review process for spec compliance and code quality?

A two-stage review is a workflow that evaluates each task sequentially, checking spec compliance first and then code quality. This enforces standards immediately after a subagent finishes its isolated work, before moving to the next task.

Can I use subagent-driven development for plans with dependent or sequential tasks?

Subagent-driven development applies to plans with multiple mostly-independent tasks. It is designed to avoid cross-task context pollution, so heavily dependent or sequential tasks that require shared context are not suitable for this isolated dispatch approach.

How do I coordinate a multi-task implementation plan and consolidate the results?

You coordinate a multi-task implementation plan by dispatching a fresh subagent for each independent task, applying two-stage reviews, and then triggering a final integration step to consolidate and test all completed work once every task finishes.

Why does context switching slow down complex implementation plans and how is it avoided?

Context switching slows down complex implementation plans by polluting task boundaries with unrelated information. It is avoided by dispatching fresh subagents for each independent task within the same session, enabling fast iteration while preserving isolation.
