SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Investigating multiple unrelated failures sequentially wastes time and pollutes your working context. This Skill coordinates one subagent per independent problem domain so concurrent investigations run in parallel while your own context stays free for integration work. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Independence Decision Logic: A decision flowchart and explicit criteria determine when failures are independent enough for parallel dispatch versus sequential handling. - Focused Agent Prompt Structure: Guidance for writing self-contained agent prompts with specific scope, constraints, and expected output summaries. - Parallel Dispatch Pattern: Instructions to issue multiple subagent dispatches in a single response so they execute concurrently, followed by review and integration steps. - Use Case: After a refactoring leaves 6 test failures across 3 files (abort logic, batch completion, race conditions), dispatch three agents simultaneously—one per test file—then verify the fixes do not conflict and run the full suite. ## Quick Start Dispatch one subagent per failing test file in parallel, giving each a focused prompt with the failing test names, constraints, and a request for a summary of root cause and fixes.

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. Give each agent a focused prompt with the failing test names, constraints, and a request for a summary of root cause and fixes.

When should I use parallel agents instead of sequential investigation?

Use parallel dispatch when failures are independent, such as different test files or subsystems with no shared state. Investigate sequentially when failures are related, when fixing one might fix others, or when agents would edit the same files.

What makes a good subagent prompt for debugging tasks?

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

Why do parallel agents fail or produce conflicting changes?

Conflicts arise when domains are not truly independent, such as agents editing the same files or sharing state. After agents return, review each summary, check for overlapping edits, run the full test suite, and spot check for systematic errors.

What are the limitations of dispatching parallel agents?

Parallel dispatch does not fit exploratory debugging where the cause is unknown, related failures that share a root cause, or tasks requiring full system context. In those cases a single agent investigating holistically is more effective.
