Subagent Driven Development

Split work into parallelizable, bounded tracks only when the tasks have disjoint ownership and the coordination cost is justified.

Subagent Driven Development

Use this skill when a task genuinely benefits from parallel agents or worktrees.

Preferred Flow

  1. Keep the blocking path local.
  2. Delegate only bounded sidecar work with clear ownership.
  3. Avoid overlapping write scopes.
  4. Integrate results quickly instead of waiting idly.

Guardrails

  • Do not delegate just to sound sophisticated.
  • Do not spawn parallel work for tightly coupled edits.
