Subagent Task Execution
If you're working through a multi-step plan or task breakdown, this skill gives you a structured way to execute it without cutting corners. It enforces a one task, one subagent approach with mandatory review stages: you prep a todo list, dispatch a specialized subagent for each task with skill discovery beforehand, then run both spec compliance and quality reviews before marking anything complete. The workflow is rigid by design, with explicit red flags like skipping reviews or batching tasks together. It's overkill for simple work, but if you need guardrails to prevent sloppy execution when juggling complex dependencies, the structured handoffs and verification loops actually enforce the discipline most people skip when they're moving fast.

Subagent Task Execution
Overview
This skill is used to execute a set of tasks (typically from a task breakdown or plan). It focuses on high-quality execution by dispatching specialized subagents for each task, ensuring each task is performed correctly and verified before moving to the next.
Core Principle
One Task, One Subagent, Multi-Stage Review. By isolating each task and applying a structured review process, we ensure high quality and prevent context pollution.
The Process
- Preparation:
- Read the entire plan or task breakdown.
- Extract all tasks with their full context.
- Create a structured todo list using the
TodoWritetool.
