parallel-feature-development

Prevent merge conflicts during parallel feature development by enforcing strict file ownership boundaries, assigning one owner per file, and using interface contracts when sharing is necessary.

The best integration patterns for coordinating parallel work include vertical slices, horizontal layers, or hybrid approaches, which organize independent work streams and combine results safely.

Assign file ownership to prevent cross-team conflicts by delegating control by directory, by module, or by layer, ensuring clear boundaries for each agent's modifications.

You need interface contracts for parallel feature development when file sharing is necessary across work streams, allowing agents to interact safely without direct ownership overlap.

Yes, this approach supports both single-branch and multi-branch workflows, providing specific branch-management strategies to control integration across independent work streams.

Decompose large features into independent work streams by defining clear ownership boundaries, establishing interface contracts, and selecting vertical or horizontal integration patterns.
