What it does

Subagent-Driven Development breaks down your plan into isolated tasks, dispatching a fresh implementer subagent for each one with precisely crafted instructions and zero session context bleed. After every task, a spec-and-quality review validates correctness before moving forward; a final broad review covers the whole branch. Use this when you need fast iteration, high-quality output, and your own context preserved for coordination.

  • Dispatch one fresh subagent per task with isolated context—no session history inheritance
  • Auto-review each task completion against spec and code quality before continuing
  • Execute the full plan without pausing for check-ins; only stop for blockers or completion
  • Run a final broad-branch review to catch integration issues and cross-task concerns
