Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session - dispatches fresh subagent for each task with code review between tasks, enabling fast iteration with quality gates

TL;DR

Fresh subagent per task with code review between tasks for fast, high-quality iteration.

What Is It

Execute plans with fresh subagents per task
Include code review after each task
Enable fast iteration with quality gates
Same session, no context switch

Key Features

Fresh subagent per task
Code review after each task
TDD followed naturally by subagents
Parallel-safe execution
Continuous progress without waiting
Issues caught early
Critical issues must be fixed before next task
Final review ensures plan requirements are met

How to Use

1.Load plan and create TodoWrite
2.Dispatch fresh subagent per task with implementation instructions
3.Review subagent work with code reviewer after each task
4.Fix Critical/Important issues before next task
5.Mark task complete and move to next
6.Final code review after all tasks, then use finishing-a-development-branch

Guardrails & Gotchas

Never skip code review between tasks
Never proceed with unfixed Critical issues
Never dispatch multiple implementation subagents in parallel
Must read plan task before implementation
If subagent fails, dispatch fix subagent with specific instructions
Must use superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch at end
