SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the implementation of development plans by breaking them into independent tasks, each handled by a fresh AI subagent, with mandatory code reviews between tasks to ensure quality and fast iteration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Decomposition: Executes plans by dispatching a new subagent for each task, preventing context pollution.
  • Automated Code Review: Integrates code review after each task to catch issues early.
  • Fast Iteration: Enables rapid development cycles with quality gates without human intervention between tasks.
  • Use Case: Implementing a new feature defined by a plan, where each sub-task (e.g., "implement API endpoint", "write unit tests", "update documentation") is handled sequentially by dedicated subagents, with reviews ensuring correctness before proceeding.

Quick Start

Use the subagent-driven-development skill to execute the plan located at /path/to/your/plan.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I execute a development plan using AI subagents?▼

To execute a development plan using AI subagents, this skill dispatches a fresh, independent subagent for each task within the plan, ensuring rapid iteration without context pollution between sequential tasks.

What is automated code review in agile AI development?▼

Automated code review in agile AI development is a quality gate enforced between sequential task completions, catching issues early without human intervention to ensure correctness before proceeding to the next subagent.

Do I need a planning skill to use subagent-driven development?▼

Yes, you need a planning skill to generate the implementation plan first. Subagent-driven development requires integration with planning, code review, and branch finishing skills for a complete development workflow.

Why use independent AI subagents for iterative feature implementation?▼

Independent AI subagents prevent context pollution by maintaining a fresh context per task. This approach ensures high-quality, rapid iteration by decomposing features into sequential sub-tasks handled by dedicated agents.

What are the limitations of subagent-driven task execution?▼

The limitation of subagent-driven task execution is its dependency on external skills; it cannot operate standalone and requires integration with planning, code review, and branch finishing skills to complete the development workflow.
