SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Spawn multiple Codex subagents in parallel to work on a task. Only use this skill when the user has explicitly asked for a swarm, parallel agents, or delegated multi-agent work.

Core Features & Use Cases

Decompose tasks into 2-5 independent subtasks that can be executed in parallel.
Spawn a Codex subagent for each subtask with clear ownership and non-reversion of others' edits.
Provide a final synthesis and status report once agents complete.

Quick Start

Decompose the user's task and spawn a swarm of Codex agents to execute the subtasks concurrently.

FAQPage Schema

How do I run parallel coding agents on a multi-file project?▼

You can run parallel coding agents by spawning a swarm of Codex subagents. This orchestrates 2-5 independent subtasks concurrently across your codebase, assigning each agent clear ownership to execute multi-file work simultaneously.

When should I use parallel agents for codebase tasks?▼

Use parallel agents for codebase tasks when you have explicitly requested delegated multi-agent work or a swarm. It is designed for complex multi-file projects that can be decomposed into 2-5 independent subtasks for concurrent execution.

How do I decompose a codebase task for parallel execution by agents?▼

To decompose a codebase task for parallel execution, break the project into 2-5 independent subtasks. Each subtask is assigned to a spawned Codex subagent with clear ownership, ensuring agents do not revert each other's edits during concurrent execution.

How are parallel subtask results synthesized after agent execution?▼

Parallel subtask results are synthesized through a final status report. Once the coordinated workflow of spawned agents completes, the system provides a final synthesis that clearly reports the results and overall execution status.

Can I spawn more than five agents for a single project task?▼

No, the swarm coordination approach decomposes tasks into 2-5 independent subtasks. This limit ensures clear ownership and effective parallel execution across the codebase without overwhelming the coordinated workflow.
