SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Investigating multiple unrelated failures or tasks sequentially wastes time, and a single agent juggling many problems loses focus and context. This Skill provides a structured pattern for splitting independent work across parallel agents so each problem domain gets focused attention at the same time. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Independence Decision Framework: A decision flowchart and criteria to determine whether failures or tasks are truly independent and safe to parallelize. - Focused Agent Prompt Structure: Guidance for writing self-contained agent prompts with specific scope, constraints, and expected output format. - Review and Integration Workflow: Steps to verify agent results, detect conflicts, and run the full test suite after parallel fixes. - Use Case: After a refactoring leaves 6 test failures across 3 files (abort logic, batch completion, race conditions), dispatch one agent per file so all three investigations complete concurrently, then integrate the non-conflicting fixes. ## Quick Start Ask your agent to dispatch one parallel sub-agent per failing test file, each with a focused prompt containing the error messages, scope constraints, and a required summary of root cause and fixes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run multiple AI agents in parallel on different tasks?

Dispatch one agent per independent problem domain, giving each a focused, self-contained prompt with specific scope, constraints, and expected output. In Claude Code this means issuing multiple Task calls in one turn so they run concurrently.

How do I fix multiple failing test files at the same time?

Group failures by root cause domain, confirm they are independent, then dispatch one agent per test file with the error messages pasted in. After agents return, review summaries, check for conflicting edits, and run the full test suite.

When should I not use parallel agents for debugging?

Avoid parallel dispatch when failures are related, when understanding requires full system context, during exploratory debugging, or when agents would share state such as editing the same files or resources.

What makes a good prompt for a delegated sub-agent?

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

How do I verify results after parallel agents finish?

Read each agent's summary, check whether agents edited the same code, run the full test suite to confirm fixes work together, and spot-check changes since agents can make systematic errors.
