Summary

Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session

Subagent-Driven Development Execute plan by dispatching a fresh implementer subagent per task, a task review (spec compliance + code quality) after each, and a broad whole-branch review at the end. Why subagents: You delegate tasks to specialized agents with isolated context. By precisely crafting their instructions and context, you ensure they stay focused and succeed at their task. They should never inherit your session's context or history — you construct exactly what they need. This also preserves your own context for coordination work. Core principle: Fresh subagent per task + task review (spec + quality) + broad final review = high quality, fast iteration Narration: between tool calls, narrate at most one short line — the ledger and the tool results carry the record. Continuous execution: Do not pause to check in with your human partner between tasks. Execute all tasks from the pla…
