Subagent workflow

One branch
per hand.

Agents work when roles, files, and evidence are bounded. A worktree gives each worker its own checkout while the orchestrator protects intent.

The tree

Split at
the seam.

MAIN / ORCHESTRATOR ├── agent/ui → components + visual states ├── agent/tests → acceptance + regressions └── agent/docs → guide + examples merge after each leaf returns a diff and evidence
Orchestrator main ● clean
UI worker agent/ui ● working
Test worker agent/tests ● ready
Docs worker agent/docs ● review

Re-runs gates and reports remaining gaps.

Handoff

Context that
can travel.

  1. 01
    Brief Goal, owned files, dependencies, non-goals, acceptance.
