+description: Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session
+---
+
+# Subagent-Driven Development
+
+Execute plan by dispatching a fresh implementer subagent per task, a task review (spec compliance + code quality) after each, and a broad whole-branch review at the end.
+
+**Why subagents:** You delegate tasks to specialized agents with isolated context. By precisely crafting their instructions and context, you ensure they stay focused and succeed at their task. They should never inherit your session's context or history — you construct exactly what they need. This also preserves your own context for coordination work.
+
+**Core principle:** Fresh subagent per task + task review (spec + quality) + broad final review = high quality, fast iteration
+
+**Narration:** between tool calls, narrate at most one short line — the
+ledger and the tool results carry the record.
+
+**Continuous execution:** Do not pause to check in with your human partner between tasks. Execute all tasks from the plan without stopping. The only reasons to stop are: BLOCKED status you cannot resolve, ambiguity that genuinely prevents progress, or all tasks complete. "Should I continue?" prompts and progress summaries waste their time — they asked you to execute the plan, so execute it.
+
+## When to Use
+
+```dot
+digraph when_to_use {
+    "Have implementation plan?" [shape=diamond];
+    "Tasks mostly independent?" [shape=diamond];
+    "Stay in this session?" [shape=diamond];
+    "subagent-driven-development" [shape=box];
+    "executing-plans" [shape=box];
+    "Manual execution or brainstorm first" [shape=box];

+    "Stay in this session?" -> "executing-plans" [label="no - parallel session"];
+}
+```
+
+**vs. Executing Plans (parallel session):**
+- Same session (no context switch)
+- Fresh subagent per task (no context pollution)
+- Review after each task (spec compliance + code quality), broad review at the end
+- Faster iteration (no human-in-loop between tasks)

+```
+
+## Setup
+
+Ensure the work happens in an isolated workspace: use
+superpowers:using-git-worktrees to create one or verify the existing one.
+Never start implementation on a main/master branch without your human
+partner's explicit consent.
+
+Conversation memory does not survive compaction. In real sessions,
+controllers that lost their place have re-dispatched entire completed task
+sequences — the single most expensive failure observed. Track progress in
+a ledger file, not only in todos.
+
+- Each plan owns a workspace: at skill start, run this skill's
+  `scripts/sdd-workspace PLAN_FILE` — it prints the plan's git-ignored
+  directory (`<repo-root>/.superpowers/sdd/<plan-basename>/`), home to
+  every artifact for THIS plan: ledger, briefs, reports, review packages.
+  Another plan's directory is never yours to read or write.
+- Check for this plan's ledger at `<workspace>/progress.md`. If its first
+  line names your plan file, tasks with a `Task <N>: complete` line are DONE
+  — do not re-dispatch them; resume at the first task without one. A task
+  whose last line is a fix round is mid-loop: resume the loop at the next
+  round. A ledger whose first line names a different plan file — or a stray
+  ledger at the old flat path `.superpowers/sdd/progress.md` — is another
+  plan's progress: leave it in place and start your own, fresh.
+- Create the ledger with its identity as the first line:
+  `# SDD ledger — plan: <plan file path>`.
+- The ledger is your recovery map: the commits it names exist in git even
+  when your context no longer remembers creating them. After compaction,
+  trust the ledger and `git log` over your own recollection.
+- `git clean -fdx` will destroy the workspace (it's git-ignored scratch); if
+  that happens, recover from `git log`.
+
+Read the plan once, note its context and Global Constraints, and create a
+todo per task.
+
+Before dispatching Task 1, scan the plan once for conflicts:
+
+- tasks that contradict each other or the plan's Global Constraints
+- anything the plan explicitly mandates that the review rubric treats as a
+  defect (a test that asserts nothing, verbatim duplication of a logic block)
+
+Present everything you find to your human partner as one batched question —
+each finding beside the plan text that mandates it, asking which governs —
+before execution begins, not one interrupt per discovery mid-plan. If the
+scan is clean, proceed without comment. The review loop remains the net for
+conflicts that only emerge from implementation.
+
+## Model Selection
+
+Use the least powerful model that can handle each role to conserve cost and increase speed.
+
+**Mechanical implementation tasks** (isolated functions, clear specs, 1-2 files): use a fast, cheap model. Most implementation tasks are mechanical when the plan is well-specified.
+
+**Integration and judgment tasks** (multi-file coordination, pattern matching, debugging): use a standard model.
+
+**Architecture and design tasks**: use the most capable available model.
+The final whole-branch review is one of these — dispatch it on the most
+capable available model, not the session default.
+
+**Review tasks**: choose the model with the same judgment, scaled to the
+diff's size, complexity, and risk. A small mechanical diff does not need the
+most capable model; a subtle concurrency change does. Scoped re-reviews of
+small fix diffs take a cheap-to-mid tier.
+
+**Fix-loop escalation (rounds 4-5)**: use a model at least one tier above
+the implementer that got stuck.
+
+**Always specify the model explicitly when dispatching a subagent.** An
+omitted model inherits your session's model — often the most capable and
+most expensive — which silently defeats this section.
+
+**Turn count beats token price.** Wall-clock and context cost scale with how
+many turns a subagent takes, and the cheapest models routinely take 2-3× the
+turns on multi-step work — costing more overall. Use a mid-tier model as the
+floor for reviewers and for implementers working from prose descriptions.
+When the task's plan text contains the complete code to write, the
+implementation is transcription plus testing: use the cheapest tier for
+that implementer. Single-file mechanical fixes also take the cheapest tier.
+
+**Task complexity signals (implementation tasks):**
+- Touches 1-2 files with a complete spec → cheap model
+- Touches multiple files with integration concerns → standard model
+- Requires design judgment or broad codebase understanding → most capable model
+
+## The Task Loop
+
+Everything you paste into a dispatch prompt — and everything a subagent
+prints back — stays resident in your context for the rest of the session
+and is re-read on every later turn. Hand artifacts over as files.
+
+### 1. Dispatch the implementer
+
+Record BASE (`git rev-parse HEAD`) before dispatching — the review package
+and fix-round diffs need it.
+
+- **Task brief:** before dispatching an implementer, run this skill's
+  `scripts/task-brief PLAN_FILE N` — it extracts the task's full text to a
+  uniquely named file and prints the path. Compose the dispatch so the
+  brief stays the single source of
+  requirements. Your dispatch should contain: (1) one line on where this
+  task fits in the project; (2) the brief path, introduced as "read this
+  first — it is your requirements, with the exact values to use verbatim";
+  (3) interfaces and decisions from earlier tasks that the brief cannot
+  know; (4) your resolution of any ambiguity you noticed in the brief;
+  (5) the report-file path and report contract. Exact values (numbers,
+  magic strings, signatures, test cases) appear only in the brief. Never
+  make a subagent read the whole plan file.
+- **Report file:** name the implementer's report file after the brief
+  (brief `…/task-N-brief.md` → report `…/task-N-report.md`) and put it in
+  the dispatch prompt. The implementer writes the full report there and
+  returns only status, commits, a one-line test summary, and concerns.
+- A dispatch prompt describes one task, not the session's history. Do not
+  paste accumulated prior-task summaries ("state after Tasks 1-3") into
+  later dispatches — a real session's dispatch hit 42k chars of which 99%
+  was pasted history. A fresh subagent needs its task, the interfaces it
+  touches, and the global constraints. Nothing else.
+- If an earlier task parked a finding in the area this task touches, carry
+  a pointer to that ledger entry in the dispatch.
+- Record the implementer's agent identity from the dispatch result —
+  fix-loop rounds 1-3 resume this agent.
+- Never dispatch multiple implementation subagents in parallel (conflicts).
+
+Template: [implementer-prompt.md](implementer-prompt.md)
+
+### 2. Handle the report
+
+Implementer subagents report one of four statuses. Handle each appropriately:
+
+**DONE:** Generate the review package (`scripts/review-package PLAN_FILE BASE HEAD`, from this skill's directory — it prints the unique file path it wrote; BASE is the commit you recorded before dispatching the implementer — never `HEAD~1`, which silently drops all but the last commit of a multi-commit task), then dispatch the task reviewer with the printed path.
+
+**DONE_WITH_CONCERNS:** The implementer completed the work but flagged doubts. Read the concerns before proceeding. If the concerns are about correctness or scope, address them before review. If they're observations (e.g., "this file is getting large"), note them and proceed to review.
+
+**NEEDS_CONTEXT:** The implementer needs information that wasn't provided. Provide the missing context and re-dispatch.
+
+**BLOCKED:** The implementer cannot complete the task. Assess the blocker:
+1. If it's a context problem, provide more context and re-dispatch with the same model
+2. If the task requires more reasoning, re-dispatch with a more capable model
+3. If the task is too large, break it into smaller pieces
+4. If the plan itself is wrong, escalate to the human
+
+**Never** ignore an escalation or force the same model to retry without changes. If the implementer said it's stuck, something needs to change.
+
+If the implementer asks questions — before starting or mid-task — answer
+clearly and completely, provide additional context if needed, and don't
+rush it into implementation.
+
+### 3. Review the task
+
+Per-task reviews are task-scoped gates. The broad review happens once, at the
+final whole-branch review. Never skip the task review, and never accept a
+report missing either verdict — spec compliance AND task quality are both
+required. Implementer self-review never replaces the task review; both are
+needed.
+
+- Hand the reviewer its diff as a file: run this skill's
+  `scripts/review-package PLAN_FILE BASE HEAD` and pass the reviewer the file path
+  it prints (or, without bash: `git log --oneline`, `git diff --stat`,
+  and `git diff -U10` for the range, redirected to one uniquely named
+  file). The output never enters your own context, and the reviewer sees
+  the commit list, stat summary, and full diff with context in one Read
+  call. Use the BASE you recorded before dispatching the implementer —
+  never `HEAD~1`, which silently truncates multi-commit tasks. Never
+  dispatch a task reviewer without a diff file.
+- **Reviewer inputs:** the task reviewer gets three paths — the same brief
+  file, the report file, and the review package — plus the global
+  constraints that bind the task.
+- The global-constraints block you hand the reviewer is its attention
+  lens. Copy the binding requirements verbatim from the plan's Global
+  Constraints section or the spec: exact values, exact formats, and the
+  stated relationships between components ("same layout as X", "matches
+  Y"). The reviewer's template already carries the process rules (YAGNI,
+  test hygiene, review method) — the constraints block is for what THIS
+  project's spec demands.
+- Do not add open-ended directives like "check all uses" or "run race tests
+  if useful" without a concrete, task-specific reason
+- Do not ask a reviewer to re-run tests the implementer already ran on the
+  same code — the implementer's report carries the test evidence
+- Do not pre-judge findings for the reviewer — never instruct a reviewer to
+  ignore or not flag a specific issue. If you believe a finding would be a
+  false positive, let the reviewer raise it and adjudicate it in the review
+  loop. If the prompt you are writing contains "do not flag," "don't treat X
+  as a defect," "at most Minor," or "the plan chose" — stop: you are
+  pre-judging, usually to spare yourself a review loop.
+The task reviewer may report "⚠️ Cannot verify from diff" items — requirements
+that live in unchanged code or span tasks. These do not block the rest of the
+review, but you must resolve each one yourself before marking the task
+complete: you hold the plan and cross-task context the reviewer
+lacks. If you confirm an item is a real gap, treat it as a failed spec
+review — it enters the fix loop with the other findings.
+
+Template: [task-reviewer-prompt.md](task-reviewer-prompt.md)
+
+### 4. The fix loop
+
+The loop triggers when the review reports spec ❌, any Critical or Important
+finding, or a ⚠️ item you confirmed as a real gap.
+
+Before the loop starts, two routes leave it immediately:
+
+- Record Minor findings in the progress ledger as you go
+  (`Task <N>: minor (deferred): <one-liner>`), and point the final
+  whole-branch review at that list so it can triage which must be fixed
+  before merge. A roll-up nobody reads is a silent discard. Minor findings
+  never enter the loop.
+- A finding labeled plan-mandated — or any finding that conflicts with
+  what the plan's text requires — is the human's decision, like any plan
+  contradiction: present the finding and the plan text, ask which governs.
+  Do not dismiss the finding because the plan mandates it, and do not
+  dispatch a fix that contradicts the plan without asking.
+Everything else enters the loop. A fix round is one fix dispatch plus one
+scoped re-review. Five rounds maximum per task:
+
+**Rounds 1-3 — resume the original implementer.** Send it the open findings
+verbatim. Its context is intact: it knows the task, the code, and its own
+choices. If your harness cannot send another message to a live subagent,
+dispatch a fresh implementer carrying the brief path, the report-file path,
+and the findings — the report file is the persistent memory either way.
+
+**Rounds 4-5 — dispatch a fresh implementer on a more capable model** (per
+Model Selection), with the brief path, the report-file path, the open
+findings, and this framing: "A prior implementer attempted this task
+[N] times; you own it now. Read the report file for what was tried." A loop
+that survives three resumes usually means the implementer cannot see its
+own problem — fresh eyes and a capability bump in one move.
+
+**Every round, either way:** the implementer fixes, re-runs the tests
+covering the amended code, appends its fix report to the same report file,
+and returns the short contract. Before re-dispatching the reviewer, confirm
+the fix report contains the covering tests, the command run, and the
+output; dispatch the re-review once all three are present. Name the
+covering test files in the fix message — a one-line fix does not need the
+whole suite.
+
+**The re-review is scoped.** Run `scripts/review-package PLAN_FILE FIX_BASE HEAD`
+where FIX_BASE is the head the previous review saw, and dispatch
+[re-review-prompt.md](re-review-prompt.md) with the findings list, the
+brief, the report file, and the printed diff path. The re-reviewer verdicts
+each finding ADDRESSED or NOT ADDRESSED and flags new breakage in the fix
+diff only. New Critical/Important breakage in the fix diff joins the open
+findings list. Out-of-scope observations go to the ledger as deferred
+minors — they never extend the loop.
+
+**After each round,** append to the ledger:
+`Task <N>: fix round <R>/5 (<X> addressed, <Y> open — <finding one-liners>; commits <a7>..<b7>)`
+
+Never fix findings yourself in the controller session — your context stays
+clean for coordination, and controller fixes skip review.
+
+**The breaker.** When round 5's re-review still leaves findings open, stop
+dispatching. Adjudicate each open finding yourself — you hold the plan and
+the cross-task context the reviewer lacks:
+
+- **The reviewer is wrong, or the point is contestable:** park it —
+  `Task <N>: parked — <finding> — ruling: <why the code stands>`. The final
+  review sees both sides.
+- **Real, but nothing downstream builds on it:** park it the same way, with
+  a ruling that says it's real and deferred.
+- **Real and load-bearing** — a later task builds on it, or it reveals a
+  plan defect: STOP. Append `Task <N>: BLOCKED — <reason>` and report to
+  your human partner with the finding, the plan text it collides with, and
+  the fix history. Parking a structural failure lets every dependent task
+  build on it and hands the final review a problem it cannot fix either.
+
+Adjudicate only at the cap. Adjudicating earlier to end a loop is
+pre-judging with a different name. Every adjudication is a ledger entry —
+a silent discard is forbidden.
+
+### 5. Complete the task
+
+When the review comes back clean — or every open finding is parked with a
+ruling at the cap — append the completion line to the ledger in the same
+message as your other bookkeeping:
+
+- `Task <N>: complete (commits <base7>..<head7>, review clean)`
+- `Task <N>: complete (commits <base7>..<head7>, <K> parked)` after a
+  tripped breaker
+
+Then mark the todo complete and move on. Never move to the next task while
+the review has open Critical/Important issues that are neither fixed nor
+parked-with-ruling at the cap.
+
+## Final Review
+
+The final whole-branch review gets a package too: run
+`scripts/review-package PLAN_FILE MERGE_BASE HEAD` (MERGE_BASE = the commit the
+branch started from, e.g. `git merge-base main HEAD`) and include the
+printed path in the final review dispatch, so the final reviewer reads
+one file instead of re-deriving the branch diff with git commands. Dispatch
+on the most capable available model (see Model Selection), using
+superpowers:requesting-code-review's
+[code-reviewer.md](../requesting-code-review/code-reviewer.md). Point it at
+the ledger's deferred-minor and parked lines so it can triage which must be
+fixed before merge.
+
+If the final whole-branch review returns findings, dispatch ONE fix subagent
+with the complete findings list — not one fixer per finding.
+Per-finding fixers each rebuild context and re-run suites; a real
+session's final-review fix wave cost more than all its tasks combined.
+Then run exactly one scoped re-review of the fix wave
+(`scripts/review-package PLAN_FILE FIX_BASE HEAD` over the fix range,
+[re-review-prompt.md](re-review-prompt.md)).
+Adjudicate any residual findings as in the task loop's breaker: park with
+rulings, or stop on load-bearing ones. There is no second fix wave —
+residual load-bearing findings surface to your human partner when
+finishing-a-development-branch presents the options.
+
+## Finish
+
+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.
+
+Use superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch.
+
+## Common Rationalizations
+
+| Excuse | Reality |
+|--------|---------|
+| "Close enough on spec compliance" | Reviewer found spec gaps = not done. Fix or hit the cap and adjudicate — those are the only exits. |
+| "I'll fix it myself, dispatching is overhead" | Controller fixes pollute your context and skip review. Resume the implementer. |
+| "One more round will converge" | Past the cap, rounds don't converge — the failure is structural. Adjudicate and route. |
+| "The reviewer will just find something new anyway" | Scoped re-reviews verify fixes; they cannot wander. New findings on untouched code go to the ledger, not the loop. |
+| "This finding is obviously wrong, I'll drop it" | You adjudicate only at the cap, and every ruling is a ledger entry. Silent discards are forbidden. |
+| "The fix was small, skip the re-review" | Unreviewed fixes are how regressions land. Every round ends with a scoped re-review. |
+| "Reviews slow the loop down" | The loop without reviews is just unverified churn. Reviews are the loop's brakes and steering. |
+| "Ledger bookkeeping is overhead" | The ledger is what survives compaction. Controllers without one have re-dispatched entire completed task sequences. |
+

+This skill is part of the engineering profile shipped by
+`opencode-ship@1.0`. Execution is driven by the deterministic
+Ship controller; the cheap builder (`minimax/MiniMax-M3`) cannot
+commit, push, mutate GitHub, mark Ready, or merge. The
+verification-before-completion rule is enforced by
+`delivery_verify`, not by the model self-asserting completion.

+# Implementer Subagent Prompt Template
+
+Use this template when dispatching an implementer subagent.
+
+```
+Subagent (general-purpose):
+  description: "Implement Task N: [task name]"
+  model: [MODEL — REQUIRED: choose per SKILL.md Model Selection; an omitted
+         model silently inherits the session's most expensive one]
+  prompt: |
+    You are implementing Task N: [task name]
+
+    ## Task Description
+
+    Read your task brief first: [BRIEF_FILE]
+    It contains the full task text from the plan.
+
+    ## Context
+
+    [Scene-setting: where this fits, dependencies, architectural context]
+
+    ## Before You Begin
+
+    If you have questions about:
+    - The requirements or acceptance criteria
+    - The approach or implementation strategy
+    - Dependencies or assumptions
+    - Anything unclear in the task description
+
+    **Ask them now.** Raise any concerns before starting work.
+
+    ## Your Job
+
+    Once you're clear on requirements:
+    1. Implement exactly what the task specifies
+    2. Write tests (following TDD if task says to)
+    3. Verify implementation works
+    4. Commit your work
+    5. Self-review (see below)
+    6. Report back
+
+    Work from: [directory]
+
+    **While you work:** If you encounter something unexpected or unclear, **ask questions**.
+    It's always OK to pause and clarify. Don't guess or make assumptions.
+
+    While iterating, run the focused test for what you're changing; run the
+    full suite once before committing, not after every edit.
+
+    ## Code Organization
+
+    You reason best about code you can hold in context at once, and your edits are more
+    reliable when files are focused. Keep this in mind:
+    - Follow the file structure defined in the plan
+    - Each file should have one clear responsibility with a well-defined interface
+    - If a file you're creating is growing beyond the plan's intent, stop and report
+      it as DONE_WITH_CONCERNS — don't split files on your own without plan guidance
+    - If an existing file you're modifying is already large or tangled, work carefully
+      and note it as a concern in your report
+    - In existing codebases, follow established patterns. Improve code you're touching
+      the way a good developer would, but don't restructure things outside your task.
+
+    ## When You're in Over Your Head
+
+    It is always OK to stop and say "this is too hard for me." Bad work is worse than
+    no work. You will not be penalized for escalating.
+
+    **STOP and escalate when:**
+    - The task requires architectural decisions with multiple valid approaches
+    - You need to understand code beyond what was provided and can't find clarity
+    - You feel uncertain about whether your approach is correct
+    - The task involves restructuring existing code in ways the plan didn't anticipate
+    - You've been reading file after file trying to understand the system without progress
+
+    **How to escalate:** Report back with status BLOCKED or NEEDS_CONTEXT. Describe
+    specifically what you're stuck on, what you've tried, and what kind of help you need.
+    The controller can provide more context, re-dispatch with a more capable model,
+    or break the task into smaller pieces.
+
+    ## Before Reporting Back: Self-Review
+
+    Review your work with fresh eyes. Ask yourself:
+
+    **Completeness:**
+    - Did I fully implement everything in the spec?
+    - Did I miss any requirements?
+    - Are there edge cases I didn't handle?
+
+    **Quality:**
+    - Is this my best work?
+    - Are names clear and accurate (match what things do, not how they work)?
+    - Is the code clean and maintainable?
+
+    **Discipline:**
+    - Did I avoid overbuilding (YAGNI)?
+    - Did I only build what was requested?
+    - Did I follow existing patterns in the codebase?
+
+    **Testing:**
+    - Do tests actually verify behavior (not just mock behavior)?
+    - Did I follow TDD if required?
+    - Are tests comprehensive?
+    - Is the test output pristine (no stray warnings or noise)?
+
+    If you find issues during self-review, fix them now before reporting.
+
+    ## After Review Findings
+
+    If the task review finds issues, you will be resumed with the findings.
+    Fix them, re-run the tests that cover the amended code, and append a fix
+    report to your report file: what you changed, the covering tests you
+    ran, the command, and the output. Reviewers will not re-run tests for
+    you — your report is the test evidence. Then reply with the same short
+    status contract as your first report.
+
+    ## Report Format
+
+    Write your full report to [REPORT_FILE]:
+    - What you implemented (or what you attempted, if blocked)
+    - What you tested and test results
+    - **TDD Evidence** (if TDD was required for this task):
+      - RED: command run, relevant failing output before implementation, and why the failure was expected
+      - GREEN: command run and relevant passing output after implementation
+    - Files changed
+    - Self-review findings (if any)
+    - Any issues or concerns
+
+    Then report back with ONLY (under 15 lines — the detail lives in the
+    report file):
+    - **Status:** DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT
+    - Commits created (short SHA + subject)
+    - One-line test summary (e.g. "14/14 passing, output pristine")
+    - Your concerns, if any
+    - The report file path
+
+    If BLOCKED or NEEDS_CONTEXT, put the specifics in the final message
+    itself — the controller acts on it directly.
+
+    Use DONE_WITH_CONCERNS if you completed the work but have doubts about correctness.
+    Use BLOCKED if you cannot complete the task. Use NEEDS_CONTEXT if you need
+    information that wasn't provided. Never silently produce work you're unsure about.
