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 and bloats a single agent's context. 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 criteria to determine whether failures are independent enough for parallel dispatch or require sequential investigation. - Focused Agent Prompt Structure: Guidance for writing self-contained agent prompts with specific scope, constraints, and expected output so agents stay on task. - Integration and Verification Workflow: Steps to review agent summaries, detect conflicting edits, and run the full test suite after parallel fixes. - Use Case: After a major refactoring leaves 6 test failures across 3 files (abort logic, batch completion, race conditions), dispatch one agent per file, let them fix issues concurrently, then integrate the conflict-free results. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to dispatch one parallel agent per failing test file, giving each agent the specific test names, error messages, and constraints for its domain.

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

Group failures by independent problem domain, then dispatch one agent per domain with a focused prompt containing the test names, error messages, and constraints. Each agent works concurrently, and you review and integrate their summaries afterward.

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

Use parallel agents when failures are independent, such as different test files with different root causes and no shared state. If fixing one failure might fix others, or understanding requires full system context, investigate sequentially with a single agent.

What makes a good prompt for a dispatched debugging agent?

A good agent 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 fixes.

Can parallel agents conflict with each other when editing code?

Yes, agents can conflict if they edit the same files or share state. Avoid this by assigning strictly separate domains, and after dispatch review each summary, check for overlapping edits, and run the full test suite to verify integration.

What are the limitations of dispatching parallel agents for debugging?

Parallel dispatch does not fit related failures, exploratory debugging where the cause is unknown, or tasks needing full system context. Agents can also make systematic errors, so spot-check their changes rather than trusting summaries blindly.
