dispatching-parallel-agents

What problem does it solve? When multiple unrelated test failures or bugs appear across different files and subsystems, investigating them sequentially wastes time. This Skill provides a structured pattern for splitting independent problems into focused agent tasks that run concurrently. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Independence Decision Framework: A decision flowchart helps determine whether failures are truly independent and safe to parallelize, or related and better handled by a single agent. - Focused Agent Prompt Structure: Guidance on writing self-contained agent prompts with specific scope, constraints, and expected output so agents stay on task. - Integration and Verification Workflow: Steps for reviewing agent summaries, checking for conflicting edits, and running the full test suite after parallel fixes. - Use Case: After a major refactoring leaves 6 failing tests across 3 files (abort logic, batch completion, race conditions), dispatch one agent per file, then integrate the three independent fixes with zero conflicts. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to dispatch one parallel agent per failing test file, giving each agent the test names, error messages, and a constraint to fix only its assigned file.
