Subagent-Driven Development

Purpose

• Shorten total task time by parallelizing independent work.
• Keep the critical path moving locally while sidecar work runs elsewhere.
• Prevent duplicated effort between contributors.
• Improve reliability by separating implementation, research, and verification concerns.
• Turn broad requests into explicit owned slices.

Activation Signals

• Use this skill when the task has multiple independent questions.
• Use this skill when write scopes can be separated cleanly.
• Use this skill when verification can happen in parallel with implementation.
• Use this skill when one thread can map code while another edits disjoint files.
• Use this skill only if the environment allows subagent delegation.
