Dispatching Parallel Agents
A Skill for dispatching multiple independent agents to work on unrelated tasks concurrently.
Core Principle
Dispatch one agent per independent problem domain. Let them work concurrently.
When to Use
Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies:
- Multiple test failures in different files
- Different subsystems with separate bugs
- Independent feature implementations
- Parallel investigations
Key Benefits
- Faster Resolution: Multiple problems investigated simultaneously
- Resource Efficiency: Parallel processing instead of sequential
- Clear Separation: Each agent focuses on one problem domain
- No Conflicts: Independent work without shared state
Perfect for scenarios where sequential investigation would waste time.
