SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When there are multiple unrelated failures or subsystems, investigating them sequentially wastes time and can introduce conflicts. Dispatch parallel subagents to investigate independent problem domains concurrently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Core principle: dispatch one agent per independent problem domain and let them work concurrently.
  • Subagent tracking and lightweight guardrails prevent cross-domain interference and ensure timely updates.
  • Use cases include triaging multiple failures across files or subsystems that do not share state and can be analyzed in parallel.

Quick Start

Provide a set of parallel subagent tasks and run them concurrently to investigate independent problem domains.

FAQPage Schema
How do I investigate multiple independent failures in parallel?

To investigate multiple independent failures in parallel, dispatch one subagent per problem domain and let them work concurrently. This prevents cross-domain interference and eliminates the wasted time of sequential investigation.

When should I use parallel subagents for orchestration?

Use parallel subagents for orchestration when you have 3 or more failures or subsystems that can be analyzed without shared state. This approach ensures concurrent investigation and prevents conflicts between unrelated problem domains.

How do I coordinate subagents investigating distinct subsystems?

Coordinate subagents investigating distinct subsystems by specifying a registry of tasks, dispatching them in parallel, and using a review workflow to integrate the results. Lightweight guardrails ensure timely updates and prevent cross-domain interference.

What's the best way to triage multiple failures across independent files?

The best way to triage multiple failures across independent files is dispatching parallel subagents. Assign one agent per file or subsystem to analyze the problems concurrently, provided the domains do not share state.

Can I analyze multiple subsystems concurrently without shared state?

Yes, you can analyze multiple subsystems concurrently without shared state by dispatching independent subagents. This method applies a task registry and parallel dispatch to investigate distinct problem domains simultaneously and safely.

Why does sequential investigation of unrelated subsystems waste time?

Sequential investigation of unrelated subsystems wastes time because independent problem domains can be analyzed concurrently. Dispatching parallel subagents removes this bottleneck and prevents potential conflicts during triage.
