Subagent-Driven Development FAQs

Question 1

Does this skill require other plugins?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it integrates with the writing-plans, requesting-code-review, and finishing-a-development-branch skills to provide a complete end-to-end workflow.

Question 2

Can I use this for tightly coupled tasks?

Accepted Answer

It is best suited for independent tasks. If tasks are tightly coupled, manual execution or a preliminary brainstorming session is recommended.

Question 3

Is there a significant cost impact using subagents?

Accepted Answer

While it uses more subagent invocations, it significantly reduces long-term costs by catching critical issues early and preventing expensive debugging phases later.

Question 4

How does this differ from standard plan execution?

Accepted Answer

Unlike parallel session execution, this stays in your current session while using fresh subagents for each task to avoid context drift, including mandatory review steps between tasks.

Question 5

What happens if a subagent fails a task?

Accepted Answer

The system dispatches a specific fix subagent with detailed instructions based on the failure, rather than attempting a manual fix, to maintain context integrity.
