SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Subagent-Driven Development enables executing implementation plans by dispatching dedicated subagents for each task in a single session, with isolated context and structured review.

Core Features & Use Cases

Two-stage review workflow per task (spec compliance first, then code quality) to ensure correctness and quality.
Per-task delegation using independent subagents to keep tasks loosely coupled and traceable.
Clear escalation and re-dispatch when blockers arise to maintain momentum.

FAQPage Schema

How do I orchestrate independent tasks in a single session using subagents?▼

You can orchestrate task execution by dispatching a fresh subagent for each implementation task, keeping the tasks loosely coupled and traceable. The controller manages task creation, reviews, and final integration.

What is the two-stage review workflow for code task execution?▼

The two-stage review workflow checks spec compliance first, then evaluates code quality between tasks. This structured approach ensures both correctness and quality before proceeding to the next implementation step.

How do I handle blockers during subagent-driven task orchestration?▼

When blockers arise during task execution, the workflow uses clear escalation and re-dispatch of subagents to maintain momentum. This ensures the implementation plan continues progressing without getting stalled.

What prompts do I need to set up subagent-driven development?▼

You need dedicated prompts for the implementer, spec reviewer, and code-quality reviewer. These prompts define the isolated context and structured review process for each dispatched subagent.

When should I use subagent-driven development for plan execution?▼

Use this approach for implementation plans that contain mostly independent tasks. It is designed for single-session execution where keeping tasks loosely coupled and traceable through isolated subagent context is beneficial.

Does subagent-driven development require any external dependencies?▼

No external dependencies are required. The skill operates independently by using a controller to orchestrate task creation, dispatch subagents, manage the two-stage review workflow, and perform final integration.
