Use when executing a written implementation plan with independent tasks in the current session where delegation beats inline coordination cost; otherwise inline. Ad-hoc 2+ tasks without a plan use dispatching-parallel-agents.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Execute

→ Have an implementation plan with independent tasks? → **Fresh subagent per task + two-stage review.**
  1. Read plan, extract all tasks, create TodoWrite
  2. Per task: dispatch implementer → answer questions → implementer completes
  3. Review stage 1 (spec compliance) → fix gaps → re-review until ✅
  4. Review stage 2 (code quality) → fix issues → re-review until ✅
  5. Coordinator verifies, commits the coherent task, updates checkpoint/drift → next task
→ All tasks done: final review → verification receipt; branch finishing only when needed.

# Subagent-Driven Development

Execute plan by dispatching fresh subagent per task, with two-stage review after each: spec compliance review first, then code quality review.

**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.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ganyuanran/aegis/subagent-driven-development@sha256:5bf63f46c826c3bb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.d34934a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
