Subagent-Driven Analysis
Execute a pre-registered analysis plan by dispatching a fresh subagent per analysis step, with two-stage review after each: protocol-compliance review first (did it run exactly what was pre-registered, nothing more), then statistical-rigor review (assumptions, leakage, correctness, reproducibility).
Why subagents: You delegate steps to specialized agents with isolated context. By precisely crafting their instructions, you keep them focused and prevent them from improvising analyses you didn't pre-register. They never inherit your session's history — you construct exactly what they need. This also preserves your own context for coordination.
Core principle: Fresh subagent per step + two-stage review (protocol then rigor) = trustworthy, reproducible results.
Continuous execution: Do not pause to check in between steps. Execute the whole plan. The only reasons to stop: a BLOCKED status you cannot resolve, an anomaly that needs science-superpowers:investigating-anomalous-results, a genuine ambiguity, or all steps complete.
Prerequisite
The analysis plan MUST be pre-registered and frozen (science-superpowers:preregistering-analysis) before any step runs. If it is not frozen, stop and pre-register first. Executing before freezing turns the whole thing exploratory.
