dispatching-parallel-agents

To run parallel agents, you dispatch them across independent domains to concurrently diagnose root causes. This pattern requires defining per-domain tasks, dispatching them simultaneously, and conducting a post-hoc review to integrate fixes without conflicts.

Use a parallel workflow for root cause analysis when you have 3 or more failures or subsystems that can be analyzed independently. This approach is ideal when tasks share no state and can run concurrently without cross-task interference.

You scope independent tasks by applying per-domain task definition and constraint management before concurrent dispatch. This ensures each agent operates within its boundaries, enabling a safe, conflict-free integration during the post-hoc review.

The best way to prevent conflicts during concurrent subsystem fixes is to use a lightweight review and integration workflow. After parallel dispatch, this post-hoc process ensures all independent fixes are safe and do not interfere with each other.

Parallel agent dispatch does not work for diagnosing failures with shared state. It is designed strictly for independent tasks with no shared state; concurrent execution of interdependent subsystems would introduce cross-task interference and unsafe fixes.

You can coordinate multiple independent investigations to significantly reduce software diagnosis time. By dispatching parallel agents per independent domain, teams process concurrent root cause analyses simultaneously rather than sequentially.
