subagent-driven-development

Automate multi-step implementation plans by dispatching fresh subagents per task to ensure clean context, followed by a two-stage automated review for spec compliance and code quality. This plan-driven execution reads a single plan and expands it into independent per-task work streams.

The best way to enforce code review and spec compliance in automated engineering workflows is a two-stage review process. This approach checks plan adherence first, then evaluates code quality, ensuring strict quality gates are met before completing delegated tasks.

Subagent context isolation works by dispatching a fresh subagent per task to ensure clean context for each work item. This prevents context bleeding between independent tasks, maintaining clarity and quality across the entire structured implementation plan.

Yes, you need a delegating runtime that supports task delegation, per-task context isolation, and review loops. This environment is required to execute the plan-driven workflow and enforce the two-stage reviews ensuring plan adherence and code quality.

You should not use subagent-driven development for workflow orchestration when tasks are highly interdependent rather than mostly independent. This approach requires structured implementation plans where tasks can be executed in isolation with strict quality gates.

No, this subagent orchestration approach applies to projects with structured implementation plans. It reads a single plan and expands it into per-task work streams, making it unsuitable for unstructured engineering tasks lacking clear spec compliance and code quality requirements.
