v1.7.23 — Self-Sufficient Sub-Agents
Changes
Sub-agents now discover skills on their own — SDD phase sub-agents (sdd-explore, sdd-spec, sdd-apply, etc.) no longer depend on the orchestrator to provide skill paths. Each sub-agent's Step 1 now self-discovers the skill registry via engram search or .atl/skill-registry.md fallback, then loads relevant skills for the current task.
This means a sdd-apply working on a React project will load React 19 patterns, while the same sub-agent on a Go project loads Go testing conventions — automatically, without orchestrator intervention.
Works on OpenCode (native sub-agents) and Claude Code (via Agent tool).
Documentation — Added "Sub-Agents — Smarter Than You Think" section to docs/intended-usage.md explaining the super sub-agent pattern and per-agent capabilities.
