SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Harness dispatch pattern solves the challenge of running independent plan tasks in parallel without surrendering ownership or risking uncoordinated changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Independent task delegation: Assigns clearly scoped tasks to fresh workers to prevent cross-task interference.
  • Controlled parallelism: Enables safe parallel work while the primary agent maintains plan ownership, integration judgment, and final verification.
  • Use Case: When a Harness plan contains multiple domains (e.g., code changes, documentation updates, tests) that can proceed concurrently with explicit boundaries.

Quick Start

Dispatch independent tasks to fresh workers with explicit scopes and review checkpoints.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run independent workflow tasks in parallel without losing plan ownership?

Parallel workflow tasks are delegated to fresh workers with explicit allowed write scopes, while the primary agent retains plan ownership, integration judgment, and final verification. This prevents cross-task interference and ensures auditable governance.

What is the safest way to delegate disjoint domains in a multi-step plan?

Disjoint domain delegation requires clear domain boundaries, explicit allowed write scopes, and predefined verification commands. The primary agent assigns these scoped tasks to fresh workers and performs integration checks to ensure parallel work remains safe and coordinated.

When do I need parallel dispatch for independent plan work?

Parallel dispatch is needed when a plan contains multiple disjoint domains, such as code changes and documentation updates, that can proceed concurrently. It allows controlled parallelism while maintaining final verification and integration judgment.

Can I use dispatch governance for plans with overlapping write scopes?

Dispatch governance requires clear domain boundaries and explicit allowed write scopes to prevent uncoordinated changes. Plans with overlapping write scopes are not suitable because they risk cross-task interference during parallel execution.

How does primary agent verification work after dispatching parallel tasks?

Primary agent verification works by running predefined verification commands and integration checks after workers complete their scoped tasks. The primary agent retains ownership to review worker outputs and ensure uncoordinated changes do not compromise the plan.

What are the limitations of using fresh workers for parallel task delegation?

Limitations include the strict requirement for clear domain boundaries and explicit allowed write scopes. Without disjoint domains and predefined verification commands, parallel task delegation risks uncoordinated changes and fails the integration checks required for safe governance.
