Subagent-Driven Development

About

Subagent-Driven Development optimizes the execution of software implementation plans by breaking them into independent tasks and assigning each to a fresh subagent within the same session. This approach prevents context pollution and ensures high-quality output through a mandatory two-stage review process: checking for specification compliance first, followed by a dedicated code quality assessment. It is the ideal workflow for developers who want to maintain high velocity and strict standards while automating the repetitive aspects of coding, testing, and self-correction within a single Claude Code session.

Key Features

• 0 GitHub stars
• Fresh subagent per task to eliminate context drift and confusion
• Seamless integration with TDD workflows and development branch finalization
• Pre-implementation Q&A loop to clarify requirements before coding
• Automated task extraction and tracking via TodoWrite integration
• Two-stage quality gate: Spec Compliance and Code Quality reviews

Use Cases

• Executing multi-step feature plans where tasks are largely independent
• Automating the build-test-review cycle for complex software modules
