subagent-driven-development

subagent-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zprolab/WhaleKit. It costs 17 tokens per session (5,269 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A workflow for implementing a plan by giving independent tasks to separate subagents, which are smaller AI workers focused on parts of the job.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for carrying out multi-step coding plans with independent subtasks. The description does not specify how tasks are assigned or combined.
Why use it?
It helps divide an implementation plan into tasks that can be handled separately during the same session.

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 C, and why

subagent-driven-development scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

When the final whole-branch review is clean and its fixes are merged, delete this plan's workspace (`rm -rf <workspace>`) — the git history is the record now. Sibling directories belong to other plans; leave them alone.

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.
