parallel-tasks

To run multiple coding tasks in parallel without merge conflicts, use a coordination skill that pre-scopes file footprints and establishes cooperative locking across subagents. This prevents hunk-level overlaps and preserves deterministic commits when dispatching 2+ related issues simultaneously.

Cooperative locking for multi-agent workflows is a mechanism that assigns shared-file ownership to each subagent before execution. It prevents multiple parallel tasks from editing the same files concurrently, ensuring conflict avoidance and coherent commit history across a batch.

Yes, you can dispatch free-form issues to subagents while avoiding file overlaps by invoking the parallel-tasks dispatch command. The skill pre-scopes each task's planned file footprint and monitors runtime extensions to advise on potential conflicts before they happen.

The best way to coordinate subagents touching overlapping files is to implement pre-scoping, cooperative locking, and per-batch logging. This approach manages file ownership dynamically, handles advisories at runtime, and guarantees deterministic commits without manual merge intervention.

No external dependencies are required to coordinate parallel tasks across subagents. The skill operates independently using internal scripts to manage pre-scoping, locking, and batch monitoring, ensuring conflict-free parallel execution within your existing environment.

Parallel coding agents create hunk-level conflicts in shared files because they lack cooperative locking and pre-scoped file footprints. Without per-batch coordination and a runtime monitor to enforce file ownership, concurrent edits to overlapping files result in merge conflicts.
