plumb: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md

subagent-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code from aram-devdocs/plumb. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,627 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A development workflow that assigns each task in an implementation plan to a fresh coding subagent, then sends the result through several reviews.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for plans with at least two mostly independent tasks that can be handled in parallel while staying in the same session.
Why use it?
It separates tasks and review responsibilities, helping catch specification, code-quality, architecture, testing, and sometimes security problems before the work is considered complete.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is aram-devdocs/plumb's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on plumb itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything plumb configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

subagent-driven-development scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 255 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Subagent-driven development

Execute a plan by dispatching a fresh subagent per task. After each task, run the Plumb review-gate chain. For independent tasks, dispatch in parallel batches for maximum throughput.

Core principle: fresh subagent per task + parallel batches for independent work + ordered review gates = high quality, fast iteration.

When to use

  • You have a plan with ≥2 tasks.
  • Tasks are mostly independent (different crates, no shared edits, no producer-consumer edges).
  • You want to stay in the current session (no context switch).

If tasks are tightly coupled or the plan needs brainstorming, execute manually or use /gh-issue with a single primary.

Process overview

Per task:
  Dispatch 01-implementer → self-review → dispatch 02-spec-reviewer → (fixes loop)
    → dispatch 03-code-quality-reviewer → (fixes loop)
    → dispatch 05-architecture-validator → (fixes loop)
    → dispatch 04-test-runner → (fixes loop)
    → (if CDP/MCP/URL/dep touched) dispatch 06-security-auditor in parallel with any of the above
  Mark task complete.

After all tasks:
  Dispatch a final 04-test-runner pass on the full changeset.
  Run `just validate` + `cargo xtask pre-release`.

Parallel batch workflow

Step 1 — task decomposition

For each task, identify:

  • Target files — which files will be created / modified.
  • Target crates — which of plumb-core, plumb-format, plumb-cdp, plumb-config, plumb-mcp, plumb-cli, xtask are touched.
  • Dependencies — what public items does the task import?
  • Outputs — what does the task produce that another might consume (new public API, new MCP tool schema, new config field)?

Step 2 — dependency analysis

Classify each task pair as INDEPENDENT or DEPENDENT.

INDEPENDENT (safe to parallelize) — every one of these must hold:

  • Different target files (no shared edits).
  • Different crates OR no upward dependency change.
  • No change to a shared public API consumed by another task.
  • No producer-consumer relationship (one task's public output isn't another's input).
  • Can be merged without conflicts.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
