FAQPage Schema

How do I decompose a task into a parallel execution plan?▼

Parallel execution plans are created by breaking down enhanced task specifications into structured phases and assigning independent work units to subagents. This decomposition maps explicit dependencies and defines handoff points for phase transitions.

How does phase-based decomposition prevent race conditions in multi-agent workflows?▼

Phase-based decomposition prevents race conditions by applying explicit dependency graphs and safeguards against mutable shared state between subagents. This deterministic workflow ensures independent work units execute safely without overwriting shared data.

What is the best way to map dependencies for parallel subagents?▼

Mapping dependencies for parallel subagents requires designing a deterministic workflow with defined phases and clear handoff points. This structure identifies independent work units and explicitly links their relationships to orchestrate parallel execution safely.

Do I need an enhanced task specification before generating parallel execution plans?▼

Yes, an enhanced task specification is required as the input to generate a complete parallel execution plan. Providing this detailed specification allows the workflow to automatically design subagents, map dependencies, and structure phase-based execution.

Can I use task decomposition for multi-step prompt-enhancement and execution planning?▼

Task decomposition supports multi-step, multi-agent workflows including prompt-enhancement and execution planning. It breaks these complex processes into structured phases with automatic parallel subagent assignments and safe handoff transitions.

When should I not use parallel subagents for task execution?▼

Parallel subagents should not be used when a task cannot be safely split into independent work units or when mutable shared state cannot be prevented. This approach requires clear dependency mapping and tasks that support phase-based separation.
