# Subagent-Driven Development
|
||||
|
||||
Execute plan by dispatching fresh subagent per task, with two-stage review after each: spec compliance review first, then code quality review.
|
||||
|
||||
**Core principle:** Fresh subagent per task + two-stage review (spec then quality) = high quality, fast iteration
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
```dot
|
||||
digraph when_to_use {
|
||||
"Have implementation plan?" [shape=diamond];
|
||||
"Tasks mostly independent?" [shape=diamond];
|
||||
"Stay in this session?" [shape=diamond];
|
||||
"subagent-driven-development" [shape=box];
|
||||
"executing-plans" [shape=box];
|
||||
"Manual execution or brainstorm first" [shape=box];
|
||||
|
||||
"Have implementation plan?" -> "Tasks mostly independent?" [label="yes"];
|
||||
"Have implementation plan?" -> "Manual execution or brainstorm first" [label="no"];
|
||||
"Tasks mostly independent?" -> "Stay in this session?" [label="yes"];
|
||||
"Tasks mostly independent?" -> "Manual execution or brainstorm first" [label="no - tightly coupled"];
|
||||
"Stay in this session?" -> "subagent-driven-development" [label="yes"];
|
||||
"Stay in this session?" -> "executing-plans" [label="no - parallel session"];
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**vs. Executing Plans (parallel session):**
|
||||
- Same session (no context switch)
|
||||
- Fresh subagent per task (no context pollution)
|
||||
- Two-stage review after each task: spec compliance first, then code quality
|
||||
- Faster iteration (no human-in-loop between tasks)
|
||||
|
||||

## Prompt Templates
|
||||
|
||||
- `./implementer-prompt.md` - Dispatch implementer subagent
|
||||
- `./spec-reviewer-prompt.md` - Dispatch spec compliance reviewer subagent
|
||||
- `./code-quality-reviewer-prompt.md` - Dispatch code quality reviewer subagent
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
You: I'm using Subagent-Driven Development to execute this plan.
|
||||
|
||||
[Read plan file once: docs/plans/feature-plan.md]
|
||||
[Extract all 5 tasks with full text and context]
|
||||
[Create TodoWrite with all tasks]
|
||||
|
||||
Task 1: Hook installation script
|
||||
|
||||
[Get Task 1 text and context (already extracted)]
|
||||
[Dispatch implementation subagent with full task text + context]
|
||||
|
||||
Implementer: "Before I begin - should the hook be installed at user or system level?"
|
||||
|
||||
You: "User level (~/.config/superpowers/hooks/)"
|
||||
|
||||
Implementer: "Got it. Implementing now..."
|
||||
[Later] Implementer:
|
||||
- Implemented install-hook command
|
||||
- Added tests, 5/5 passing
|
||||
- Self-review: Found I missed --force flag, added it
|
||||
- Committed
|
||||
|
||||
[Dispatch spec compliance reviewer]
|
||||
Spec reviewer: ✅ Spec compliant - all requirements met, nothing extra
|
||||
|
||||
[Get git SHAs, dispatch code quality reviewer]
|
||||
Code reviewer: Strengths: Good test coverage, clean. Issues: None. Approved.
|
||||
|
||||
[Mark Task 1 complete]
|
||||
|
||||
Task 2: Recovery modes
|
||||
|
||||
[Get Task 2 text and context (already extracted)]
|
||||
[Dispatch implementation subagent with full task text + context]
|
||||
|
||||
Implementer: [No questions, proceeds]
|
||||
Implementer:
|
||||
- Added verify/repair modes
|
||||
- 8/8 tests passing
|
||||
- Self-review: All good
|
||||
- Committed
|
||||
|
||||
[Dispatch spec compliance reviewer]
|
||||
Spec reviewer: ❌ Issues:
|
||||
- Missing: Progress reporting (spec says "report every 100 items")
|
||||
- Extra: Added --json flag (not requested)
|
||||
|
||||
[Implementer fixes issues]
|
||||
Implementer: Removed --json flag, added progress reporting
|
||||
|
||||
[Spec reviewer reviews again]
|
||||
Spec reviewer: ✅ Spec compliant now
|
||||
|
||||
[Dispatch code quality reviewer]
|
||||
Code reviewer: Strengths: Solid. Issues (Important): Magic number (100)
|
||||
|
||||
[Implementer fixes]
|
||||
Implementer: Extracted PROGRESS_INTERVAL constant
|
||||
|
||||
[Code reviewer reviews again]
|
||||
Code reviewer: ✅ Approved
|
||||
|
||||
[Mark Task 2 complete]
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
[After all tasks]
|
||||
[Dispatch final code-reviewer]
|
||||
Final reviewer: All requirements met, ready to merge
|
||||
|
||||
Done!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advantages
|
||||
|
||||
**vs. Manual execution:**
|
||||
- Subagents follow TDD naturally
|
||||
- Fresh context per task (no confusion)
|
||||
- Parallel-safe (subagents don't interfere)
|
||||
- Subagent can ask questions (before AND during work)
|
||||
|
||||
**vs. Executing Plans:**
|
||||
- Same session (no handoff)
|
||||
- Continuous progress (no waiting)
|
||||
- Review checkpoints automatic
|
||||
|
||||
**Efficiency gains:**
|
||||
- No file reading overhead (controller provides full text)
|
||||
- Controller curates exactly what context is needed
|
||||
- Subagent gets complete information upfront
|
||||
- Questions surfaced before work begins (not after)
|
||||
|
||||
**Quality gates:**
|
||||
- Self-review catches issues before handoff
|
||||
- Two-stage review: spec compliance, then code quality
|
||||
- Review loops ensure fixes actually work
|
||||
- Spec compliance prevents over/under-building
|
||||
- Code quality ensures implementation is well-built
|
||||
|
||||
**Cost:**
|
||||
- More subagent invocations (implementer + 2 reviewers per task)
|
||||
- Controller does more prep work (extracting all tasks upfront)
|
||||
- Review loops add iterations
|
||||
- But catches issues early (cheaper than debugging later)
|
||||
|
||||
## Red Flags
|
||||
|
||||
**Never:**
|
||||
- Skip reviews (spec compliance OR code quality)
|
||||
- Proceed with unfixed issues
|
||||
- Dispatch multiple implementation subagents in parallel (conflicts)
|
||||
- Make subagent read plan file (provide full text instead)
|
||||
- Skip scene-setting context (subagent needs to understand where task fits)
|
||||
- Ignore subagent questions (answer before letting them proceed)
|
||||
- Accept "close enough" on spec compliance (spec reviewer found issues = not done)
|
||||
- Skip review loops (reviewer found issues = implementer fixes = review again)
|
||||
- Let implementer self-review replace actual review (both are needed)
|
||||
- **Start code quality review before spec compliance is ✅** (wrong order)
|
||||
- Move to next task while either review has open issues
|
||||
|
||||
**If subagent asks questions:**
|
||||
- Answer clearly and completely
|
||||
- Provide additional context if needed
|
||||
- Don't rush them into implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**If reviewer finds issues:**
|
||||
- Implementer (same subagent) fixes them
|
||||
- Reviewer reviews again
|
||||
- Repeat until approved
|
||||
- Don't skip the re-review
|
||||
|
||||
**If subagent fails task:**
|
||||
- Dispatch fix subagent with specific instructions
|
||||
- Don't try to fix manually (context pollution)
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Required workflow skills:**
|
||||
- **superpowers:writing-plans** - Creates the plan this skill executes
|
||||
- **superpowers:requesting-code-review** - Code review template for reviewer subagents
|
||||
- **superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch** - Complete development after all tasks
|
||||
|
||||
**Subagents should use:**
|
||||
- **superpowers:test-driven-development** - Subagents follow TDD for each task
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative workflow:**
|
||||
- **superpowers:executing-plans** - Use for parallel session instead of same-session execution

# Implementer Subagent Prompt Template
|
||||
|
||||
Use this template when dispatching an implementer subagent.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Task tool (general-purpose):
|
||||
description: "Implement Task N: [task name]"
|
||||
prompt: |
|
||||
You are implementing Task N: [task name]
|
||||
|
||||
## Task Description
|
||||
|
||||
[FULL TEXT of task from plan - paste it here, don't make subagent read file]
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
[Scene-setting: where this fits, dependencies, architectural context]
|
||||
|
||||
## Before You Begin
|
||||
|
||||
If you have questions about:
|
||||
- The requirements or acceptance criteria
|
||||
- The approach or implementation strategy
|
||||
- Dependencies or assumptions
|
||||
- Anything unclear in the task description
|
||||
|
||||
**Ask them now.** Raise any concerns before starting work.
|
||||
|
||||
## Your Job
|
||||
|
||||
Once you're clear on requirements:
|
||||
1. Implement exactly what the task specifies
|
||||
2. Write tests (following TDD if task says to)
|
||||
3. Verify implementation works
|
||||
4. Commit your work
|
||||
5. Self-review (see below)
|
||||
6. Report back
|
||||
|
||||
Work from: [directory]
|
||||
|
||||
**While you work:** If you encounter something unexpected or unclear, **ask questions**.
|
||||
It's always OK to pause and clarify. Don't guess or make assumptions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Before Reporting Back: Self-Review
|
||||
|
||||
Review your work with fresh eyes. Ask yourself:
|
||||
|
||||
**Completeness:**
|
||||
- Did I fully implement everything in the spec?
|
||||
- Did I miss any requirements?
|
||||
- Are there edge cases I didn't handle?
|
||||
|
||||
**Quality:**
|
||||
- Is this my best work?
|
||||
- Are names clear and accurate (match what things do, not how they work)?
|
||||
- Is the code clean and maintainable?
|
||||
|
||||
**Discipline:**
|
||||
- Did I avoid overbuilding (YAGNI)?
|
||||
- Did I only build what was requested?
|
||||
- Did I follow existing patterns in the codebase?
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing:**
|
||||
- Do tests actually verify behavior (not just mock behavior)?
|
||||
- Did I follow TDD if required?
|
||||
- Are tests comprehensive?
|
||||
|
||||
If you find issues during self-review, fix them now before reporting.
|
||||
|
||||
## Report Format
|
||||
|
||||
When done, report:
|
||||
- What you implemented
|
||||
- What you tested and test results
|
||||
- Files changed
|
||||
- Self-review findings (if any)
|
||||
- Any issues or concerns

# Spec Compliance Reviewer Prompt Template
|
||||
|
||||
Use this template when dispatching a spec compliance reviewer subagent.
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** Verify implementer built what was requested (nothing more, nothing less)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Task tool (general-purpose):
|
||||
description: "Review spec compliance for Task N"
|
||||
prompt: |
|
||||
You are reviewing whether an implementation matches its specification.
|
||||
|
||||
## What Was Requested
|
||||
|
||||
[FULL TEXT of task requirements]
|
||||
|
||||
## What Implementer Claims They Built
|
||||
|
||||
[From implementer's report]
|
||||
|
||||
## CRITICAL: Do Not Trust the Report
|
||||
|
||||
The implementer finished suspiciously quickly. Their report may be incomplete,
|
||||
inaccurate, or optimistic. You MUST verify everything independently.
|
||||
|
||||
**DO NOT:**
|
||||
- Take their word for what they implemented
|
||||
- Trust their claims about completeness
|
||||
- Accept their interpretation of requirements
|
||||
|
||||
**DO:**
|
||||
- Read the actual code they wrote
|
||||
- Compare actual implementation to requirements line by line
|
||||
- Check for missing pieces they claimed to implement
|
||||
- Look for extra features they didn't mention
|
||||
|
||||
## Your Job
|
||||
|
||||
Read the implementation code and verify:
|
||||
|
||||
**Missing requirements:**
|
||||
- Did they implement everything that was requested?
|
||||
- Are there requirements they skipped or missed?
|
||||
- Did they claim something works but didn't actually implement it?
|
||||
|
||||
**Extra/unneeded work:**
|
||||
- Did they build things that weren't requested?
|
||||
- Did they over-engineer or add unnecessary features?
|
||||
- Did they add "nice to haves" that weren't in spec?
|
||||
|
||||
**Misunderstandings:**
|
||||
- Did they interpret requirements differently than intended?
|
||||
- Did they solve the wrong problem?
|
||||
- Did they implement the right feature but wrong way?
|
||||
|
||||
**Verify by reading code, not by trusting report.**
|
||||
|
||||
Report:
|
||||
- ✅ Spec compliant (if everything matches after code inspection)
|
||||
- ❌ Issues found: [list specifically what's missing or extra, with file:line references]
|
||||
```
