Subagent-Driven Development FAQs

Question 1

Why does it use fresh subagents for every task?

Accepted Answer

Using fresh subagents prevents 'context pollution,' ensuring the AI focuses only on the specific task requirements without getting confused by previous steps or irrelevant code history.

Question 2

Can I use this for tasks that are tightly coupled?

Accepted Answer

No. This skill is optimized for independent tasks. If your tasks are tightly coupled and require constant manual oversight, a manual execution or brainstorming approach is recommended.

Question 3

Does it support Test-Driven Development (TDD)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, subagents are instructed to follow TDD principles naturally, implementing, testing, and self-reviewing before submitting their work for the secondary review stages.

Question 4

How does this differ from the standard Executing Plans skill?

Accepted Answer

Unlike standard plan execution which often uses parallel sessions, Subagent-Driven Development stays within the same session for faster iteration and enforces a strict two-stage review process for every individual task.

Question 5

What is the benefit of a two-stage review?

Accepted Answer

The two-stage review separates 'what' was built from 'how' it was built. First, it ensures the code matches the specs (Spec Compliance), then it ensures the implementation is clean and maintainable (Code Quality).
