Automating multi-task implementation plans with subagents involves dispatching independent subagents to execute tasks with per-task isolation. This approach spawns a fresh subagent per task to implement, test, and review each one independently within a single session.

Subagent-driven development is a workflow that orchestrates complex implementation plans by spawning fresh subagents for each task. You need it when your plan consists of multiple nearly independent tasks requiring clean context and staged reviews to prevent cross-task contamination.

Preventing context pollution when executing multiple development tasks requires fresh subagents per task to isolate context. This ensures clean context for each task, preventing cross-task contamination while maintaining plan integrity throughout the session.

You can enforce a two-stage review process for distributed agents by applying a spec review before a code quality review. This staged approach ensures alignment and quality before coordinating tasks, tests, and commits per task.

Subagent task dispatch is designed for plans consisting of multiple nearly independent tasks. It is not suitable for highly dependent tasks, as it requires fresh context and per-task isolation to execute a given implementation plan effectively.

The best way to coordinate tasks, tests, and commits across multiple agents is using an orchestration system that manages the end-to-end task lifecycle. It plans, implements, tests, commits, and finalizes each task, followed by a final integration review.
