subagent-driven-development

subagent-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Pixel-Process-UG/superkit-agents. It costs 72 tokens per session (3,211 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development workflow that assigns independent implementation tasks to separate helper agents, then checks their work through specification and code-quality reviews.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps execute plans with three or more independent tasks, delegate implementation, run acceptance checks, and perform code-quality reviews.
Why use it?
It allows several suitable tasks to move forward while keeping review steps in place. Failed reviews lead to another attempt or escalation.

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 1mo 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.

Subagent-Driven Development

Overview

This skill orchestrates implementation through dedicated subagents with built-in quality gates. Each task is implemented by an implementer subagent, then reviewed by two specialized reviewer agents (spec compliance and code quality) before acceptance. Failed reviews trigger iterative fix cycles with a maximum of 3 retries before escalation. This ensures consistent quality at scale while maximizing parallel throughput.

Announce at start: "I'm using the subagent-driven-development skill to dispatch implementation tasks with two-stage review gates."

Trigger Conditions

  • Plan has 3+ tasks that can be implemented independently
  • Tasks have well-specified acceptance criteria suitable for delegation
  • Speed of execution is a priority
  • Tasks have few interdependencies
  • Quality gates are needed for delegated work

Phase 1: Task Preparation

Goal: Ensure every task is fully specified before dispatching to any subagent.

Task Specification Requirements (7 Sections)

Every task dispatched to a subagent MUST include ALL of these:

Section Content Example
1. Task description Clear, unambiguous statement "Implement JWT token generation with RS256 signing"
2. Files to create/modify Explicit list src/auth/jwt.ts, tests/auth/jwt.test.ts
3. Acceptance criteria Specific, testable conditions "Tokens expire after 1 hour", "Invalid keys throw AuthError"
4. TDD requirements Tests to write, behaviors to cover "Test: valid token generation, expired token rejection, invalid key handling"
5. Quality standards Code style, patterns, conventions "Follow existing service pattern in src/services/, use Result type for errors"
6. Context Relevant code, interfaces, deps "Logger API: logger.info(msg, meta). Import from ../utils/logger"
7. Constraints What NOT to do "Do NOT modify existing auth middleware. Do NOT add new dependencies."

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.
