What problem does it solve?
It solves the problem of coordinating high-quality, multi-file implementations by breaking a non-trivial task into parallel workstreams and merging results with validation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Full parallel orchestration: Uses a structured planner/architect wave model to maximize concurrency for independent subtasks.
- Pre- and post-execution verification: Verifies plans before work starts and checks acceptance criteria after consolidation.
- Safe consolidation with conflict resolution: Merges worktree branches while preserving intent and wiring tests/build steps.
Use case examples
- Implementing a feature that touches multiple modules and requires consistent conventions across files.
- Performing a large refactor spanning several components where parallel changes must be merged correctly.
- Running batch codebase operations (e.g., cross-cutting updates) that benefit from independent work partitions.
Quick Start
Use the consolidation skill to execute a complex multi-file change end-to-end by first planning, then verifying, then running architect agents in parallel, consolidating their work, reviewing the merged diff, and finally re-verifying acceptance criteria.
