dispatching-parallel-agents

Debug multiple failing unit tests concurrently by dispatching parallel agents, splitting independent failures across specialized agents that work in isolated contexts to speed up root-cause analysis. You provide each agent a self-contained prompt to investigate a specific failure domain.

The best way to fix unrelated test failures is dispatching one agent per independent file or subsystem. Each agent investigates in isolation with strict scope constraints, after which you integrate their outputs and run the full test suite to verify no cross-domain changes occurred.

Parallel agent dispatching works by identifying independent problems, giving each specialized agent a narrow scope with explicit constraints, and coordinating their outputs. You prevent shared-state interference during execution and perform conflict checks before integrating the fixes.

Yes, you can use parallel agents for race-condition and timing-related defects when the tasks can run concurrently. The workflow applies to broken subsystems where failures are independent, allowing agents to execute concurrently without shared-state interference.

You should not use parallel agents when failures are not independent or when shared-state interference is unavoidable. If independent failures cannot be identified or isolated contexts cannot be maintained, sequential debugging is required to prevent cross-domain changes.
