What is the primary benefit of using subagents for development?

Using subagents provides 'fresh context' for every task, preventing the AI from becoming confused by previous tasks or unrelated code, which leads to higher accuracy and fewer side-effect bugs.

Can subagents ask questions during the process?

Yes. The workflow encourages subagents to surface questions about implementation details or ambiguities before they start writing code, ensuring the work is done right the first time.

When should I use this instead of standard plan execution?

Use this skill when you have a plan with mostly independent tasks and want to stay in your current session for faster iteration without the overhead of context switching.

How does the two-stage review process work?

First, a Spec Reviewer ensures the implementation matches every requirement in the original plan. Once approved, a Code Quality Reviewer evaluates the architectural integrity, naming conventions, and best practices.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates complex implementation plans by dispatching isolated subagents for task execution followed by mandatory two-stage code reviews.

About

Subagent-Driven Development is a specialized workflow designed for executing complex, multi-task implementation plans within a single Claude session. By assigning each independent task to a fresh subagent, the skill prevents context pollution and ensures high-focus implementation. The core strength of this skill lies in its rigorous quality gate: a mandatory two-stage review process where code must first pass a specification compliance check before undergoing a code quality audit, resulting in faster iterations and production-grade code without manual intervention.

Key Features

Automated task extraction and TodoWrite progress tracking
Seamless integration with Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflows
Isolated subagent dispatching per task to maintain clean context
Interactive Q&A phase to resolve ambiguities before coding starts
