subagent-driven-development

Manage context bloat in multi-task software projects by delegating implementation steps to isolated subagents. This approach ensures a clean state and narrow context for each task, preventing cognitive overload and maintaining focus throughout complex development workflows.

Subagent-driven development is an orchestration technique that coordinates isolated builder and reviewer agents for sequential task execution. Use it for complex coding projects requiring strict context isolation, multi-stage verification, and adherence to a structured handoff contract between controller, builder, and reviewer roles.

Enforce mandatory code review loops by orchestrating structured review passes with dedicated task-reviewer and code-reviewer subagents. This automated workflow mandates verification stages after implementation, ensuring high code quality and strict adherence to project requirements before task completion.

Yes, subagent orchestration requires a defined implementation plan before execution. You must provide a structured plan, such as a plan.md file, to coordinate the controller, builder, and reviewer roles effectively and ensure sequential task execution adheres to the handoff contract.

Yes, you can use isolated subagents for sequential task execution in complex coding projects. Dispatching fresh builder agents for each task ensures a clean state, preventing context bleed and maintaining strict isolation throughout the multi-stage verification and implementation process.

The limitation of subagent development orchestration is its strict requirement for a predefined implementation plan and structured handoff contract. Without adherence to this sequential execution and multi-stage verification process, the controller agent cannot effectively coordinate the isolated builder and reviewer roles.
