SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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 delegating each independent problem domain to a focused subagent so investigations run in parallel without shared context or interference. ## 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. - Focused Agent Prompt Structure: Guidance for writing self-contained agent prompts with specific scope, constraints, and expected output summaries. - Parallel Dispatch Pattern: Instructions for issuing multiple subagent dispatches in a single response so they execute concurrently, followed by review and integration steps. - Use Case: After a major refactoring leaves 6 failures across 3 test files (abort logic, batch completion, race conditions), dispatch one agent per file, then verify the fixes do not conflict and the full suite passes. ## Quick Start Ask your agent to dispatch one parallel subagent per failing test file, each with a focused prompt describing the failures, constraints, and expected summary output.

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 debugging?

Use parallel dispatch when failures are independent, such as different test files or subsystems with distinct root causes and no shared state. Avoid it 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 fixing test failures?

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 sometimes produce conflicting fixes?

Conflicts happen when domains are not truly independent and agents edit the same code or rely on shared state. After agents return, review each summary, check for overlapping edits, and run the full test suite to verify the fixes integrate cleanly.

What are the limitations of dispatching parallel agents for debugging?

Parallel dispatch does not fit exploratory debugging where the broken area is unknown, related failures sharing a root cause, or work requiring full system context. In those cases investigate sequentially with a single agent first.
