SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill orchestrates complex work by assigning each task to a fresh subagent and requiring a review between tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task decomposition: Split large goals into discrete, auditable steps handled by dedicated subagents.
  • Review discipline: Enforce a mandatory review between tasks to catch issues early.
  • Quality focus: Improve output quality by resetting context and applying feedback before the next task.

Quick Start

Load the plan for your current objective, dispatch the first subagent for the initial task, review the output, apply feedback, and proceed to the next task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down complex software engineering tasks for better quality control?▼

Break down complex tasks by decomposing large goals into discrete, auditable steps handled by dedicated subagents. This approach enforces explicit success criteria and requires a mandatory review between tasks to catch issues early and improve overall output quality.

What's the best way to enforce review discipline when dispatching multiple subagent tasks?▼

Enforce review discipline by applying a workflow that prevents skipping reviews before completing or starting the next task. This requires a strict review between tasks to catch issues early, resetting context and applying feedback before proceeding to ensure quality matters more than speed.

When do I need to reset context between steps in a multi-task workflow?▼

Reset context between steps when orchestrating complex work with multiple independent or interdependent tasks where quality matters more than speed. Resetting context ensures each fresh subagent starts clean, applying previous feedback without carrying over irrelevant information from prior tasks.

Can I use subagent-driven development for scenarios with interdependent tasks?▼

Yes, subagent-driven development applies to scenarios with multiple independent or interdependent tasks. It orchestrates complex work by assigning each task to a fresh subagent, enforcing explicit success criteria and constraints for each subtask to manage dependencies effectively.

How does task decomposition with fresh subagents improve output quality?▼

Task decomposition with fresh subagents improves output quality by assigning each task to a dedicated subagent and requiring a review between tasks. This context reset and feedback application mechanism catches issues early and maintains strict quality control throughout the workflow.

Does subagent-driven development prioritize quality over speed for complex work?▼

Yes, subagent-driven development explicitly applies to scenarios where quality matters more than speed. It enforces explicit success criteria and constraints for each subtask, requiring a mandatory review between tasks to ensure quality control before proceeding to the next step.
