What problem does it solve?
When a task could be decomposed into multiple subtasks, it often gets executed serially, wasting time and preventing faster parallel progress.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Execution-mode routing: Analyzes dependencies and task traits to choose the best topology (Background Subagents, Agent Teams, Task Todo, or Codex external delegation).
- User confirmation before dispatch: Uses an interactive confirmation step to present the decomposed subtask plan and recommended modes.
- Collision-aware delegation: Applies guidance for avoiding overlapping edits and choosing safer orchestration patterns, especially when validation loops are needed.
Quick Start
Use spawn to decompose and delegate your work: run /spawn with your concrete task and expected deliverables so the skill proposes subtasks, selects execution modes, and dispatches them for parallel progress.
