Multi-Agent Issue Management Skill

Multi-agent issue management prevents git conflicts by enforcing strict issue assignment and scoped ownership that blocks simultaneous edits to shared files, ensuring parallel agents working on UI, backend, and orchestration do not overlap.

You can assign agents like Google Jules, Cloud Codex, and Antigravity to specific scopes by defining exact allowed directories and feature boundaries in a shared issue template. This isolation prevents agents from making overlapping edits outside their assigned scope.

A conflict-zone declaration is a metadata field in an issue template that explicitly lists shared files other agents must not touch. It enforces scoped ownership and prevents merge conflicts by blocking simultaneous edits to critical repository paths.

Yes, multi-agent issue tracking requires a strict issue-driven workflow where every task is documented with a unique sequential ISSUE-[ID]. Task metadata must include the assigned agent, the allowed scope, and defined conflict zones to standardize handoffs.

The best way to coordinate execution order is to create a master coordination plan doc for multi-step features. This document clarifies the execution sequence and pairs with template-driven coordination to standardize metadata and handoffs across agents.

If your agents only edit completely separate files with zero shared dependencies, strict conflict-zone declarations and scoped ownership are less critical. This workflow is specifically designed for repository features where multiple agents must implement interconnected UI, backend, and orchestration logic.
