subagent-driven-development from martin-hausleitner/martins-awesome-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks. Dispatches fresh delegate_task per task with two-stage review (spec compliance then code quality).
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
# Subagent-Driven Development
## Overview
Execute implementation plans by dispatching fresh subagents per task with systematic two-stage review.
**Core principle:** Fresh subagent per task + two-stage review (spec then quality) = high quality, fast iteration.
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- You have an implementation plan (from writing-plans skill or user requirements)
- Tasks are mostly independent
- Quality and spec compliance are important
- You want automated review between tasks
**vs. manual execution:**
- Fresh context per task (no confusion from accumulated state)
- Automated review process catches issues early
- Consistent quality checks across all tasks
- Subagents can ask questions before starting work
## The Process
### 1. Read and Parse Plan
Read the plan file. Extract ALL tasks with their full text and context upfront. Create a todo list:
```python
# Read the plan
read_file("docs/plans/feature-plan.md")
# Create todo list with all tasks
todo([
{"id": "task-1", "content": "Create User model with email field", "status": "pending"},
{"id": "task-2", "content": "Add password hashing utility", "status": "pending"},
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
