CAT tasks often require running several independent subagents to speed up delivery, but coordinating them, collecting results, and merging outcomes can be complex and error-prone. This Skill provides a structured orchestration layer to run subagents in parallel while ensuring results are merged in a deterministic order.
Use the cat:parallel-execute skill to run three independent subtasks in parallel and then merge their results.

Parallel subagent orchestration spawns multiple isolated subtasks concurrently while a parent agent coordinates work streams. Results are collected asynchronously as subagents complete and merged in a deterministic, dependency-aware order to maximize throughput.
You should parallelize work across subagents when task decomposition yields several independent components that can run in isolation. If subtasks lack dependencies and benefit from concurrent execution, parallel orchestration significantly reduces overall delivery time compared to sequential processing.
Parallel orchestration merges results from concurrent subagents by collecting outputs as they complete and assembling them in a dependency-aware order. This deterministic merging process ensures the final output is consistent regardless of when individual subagents finish their work.
If a subagent fails during parallel execution, the orchestration layer provides recovery pathways by blocking or retrying failed subagents. The parent agent can continue processing successful work streams while isolating failures to prevent disruption of the entire concurrent workflow.
Parallel task decomposition is limited when subtasks share tight dependencies or require sequential state mutations. If your components cannot run in isolation, concurrent subagent execution risks race conditions and deterministic merging failures, making sequential orchestration more appropriate.
