SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When multiple unrelated test failures or bugs appear across different files and subsystems, investigating them one at a time wastes time, and handing them all to a single agent dilutes focus. 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 and explicit criteria for determining when failures are independent enough to parallelize versus when they share root causes. - Agent Prompt Structure: A template for writing focused, self-contained agent prompts with specific scope, constraints, and expected output format. - Parallel Dispatch Pattern: Guidance on issuing multiple subagent dispatches in a single response so they execute concurrently rather than sequentially. - Use Case: After a major refactoring leaves 6 test failures across 3 files (abort logic, batch completion, race conditions), dispatch one agent per file, then review summaries, check for conflicts, and run the full suite to integrate the fixes. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to dispatch one parallel subagent per failing test file, each with a focused prompt containing the failing test names, error messages, and constraints on what may be changed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix multiple failing tests in parallel with AI agents?

Group failures by independent problem domain, then dispatch one subagent per domain in the same response so they run concurrently. Each agent prompt should name the specific test file, list the failing tests with error messages, state constraints, and request a summary of findings and fixes.

When should I use parallel agents instead of a single agent for debugging?

Use parallel agents when failures are independent, meaning fixing one does not affect the others and no shared state exists between investigations. If failures are related or require understanding full system state, investigate them together with a single agent first.

What makes a good subagent prompt for fixing test failures?

A good prompt is focused on one problem domain, self-contained with all needed context such as test names and error messages, explicit about constraints like not changing production code, and specific about the expected output such as a summary of root cause and changes.

How do I make subagents run in parallel instead of sequentially?

Issue all subagent dispatch calls in the same response. Multiple dispatch calls in one response execute concurrently, while one dispatch per response runs them sequentially.

What should I do after parallel agents return their fixes?

Review each agent's summary to understand what changed, check whether agents edited the same code and created conflicts, run the full test suite to verify all fixes work together, and spot check results since agents can make systematic errors.

When should I not dispatch parallel agents for debugging?

Avoid parallel dispatch when failures share root causes, when understanding requires full system context, during exploratory debugging where the problem is not yet identified, or when agents would interfere by editing the same files or sharing resources.
