subagent-driven-development
Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session. Dispatches fresh subagent per task.
Best use case
subagent-driven-development is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session. Dispatches fresh subagent per task.
Teams using subagent-driven-development should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Subagent-Driven Development ## Overview Execute plan by dispatching fresh subagent per task with two-stage review: spec compliance first, then code quality. **Core principle:** Fresh subagent per task + two-stage review = high quality, fast iteration. ## When to Use - Have implementation plan with mostly independent tasks - Want to stay in current session - Want automatic review checkpoints ## Two-Stage Review 1. **Spec Compliance** - Did they build what was requested? (nothing more, nothing less) 2. **Code Quality** - Is it well-built? (clean, tested, maintainable) Spec MUST pass before quality review begins. ## Red Flags - Never skip either review stage - Never proceed with unfixed issues - Never dispatch multiple implementation subagents in parallel - Never let implementer self-review replace actual review ## Agents Used - `agents/implementer/` - Fresh subagent per task - `agents/spec-reviewer/` - Verifies spec compliance - `agents/code-quality-reviewer/` - Verifies code quality - `agents/code-reviewer/` - Final review of entire implementation ## Tool Use Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/superpowers/subagent-driven-development`
