# Subagent-Driven Development ## Overview Execute implementation plans task-by-task with systematic two-stage review between tasks. **Core principle:** Fresh focus per task + two-stage review (spec then quality) = high quality, fast iteration. > **Poirot note:** The original skill dispatches a fresh subagent per task via > `delegate_task`. Poirot has no subagents, so this version executes tasks > **sequentially in the same context** with a deliberate context-reset between > tasks. The two-stage review methodology is preserved. ## When to Use - You have an implementation plan (from the `plan` skill or user requirements) - Tasks are mostly independent - Quality and spec compliance are important - You want automated review between tasks ## The Process ### 1. Read and Parse Plan Read the plan file. Extract ALL tasks with full text and context upfront: ``` read_file(".poirot/plans/feature-plan.md") ``` Create a todo list with all tasks. Read the plan ONCE — don't re-read per task. ### 2. Per-Task Workflow For EACH task in the plan: #### Step 1: Context Reset Before starting each task, deliberately reset your focus: - Re-read only the current task's description - Forget previous tasks' i

About this skill
What does the subagent-driven-development skill do?

Execute plans task-by-task with two-stage review.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add HezaoHezao/poirot --skill subagent-driven-development --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From HezaoHezao/poirot, a repository with 139 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
