SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When multiple unrelated failures appear at once (different test files, subsystems, or bugs), investigating them sequentially wastes time and bloats your working context. This Skill provides a decision framework and prompt patterns for delegating each independent problem domain to a focused subagent that works in parallel with isolated context. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Independence Decision Framework: A flowchart and criteria to determine whether failures are independent enough for parallel dispatch or require sequential investigation. - Focused Agent Prompt Structure: Templates for writing self-contained agent tasks with specific scope, constraints, and expected output format. - Parallel Dispatch Pattern: Guidance on issuing multiple subagent dispatches in a single response so they run concurrently rather than sequentially. - Use Case: After a major refactoring leaves 6 test failures across 3 files (abort logic, batch completion, race conditions), dispatch three agents in parallel—each fixes its own file—and integrate the non-conflicting fixes in the time of one investigation. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to dispatch one subagent per failing test file so the independent failures are investigated and fixed in parallel.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix multiple failing tests in parallel with AI agents?▼

Group failures by independent problem domain, then dispatch one subagent per domain in a single response so they run concurrently. Give each agent a focused prompt with the specific test file, error messages, constraints, and expected output summary.

When should I use parallel agents instead of sequential debugging?▼

Use parallel dispatch when failures are independent—different root causes, no shared state, and no sequential dependencies. If fixing one failure might fix others, or agents would edit the same files, investigate sequentially instead.

What makes a good subagent prompt for debugging tasks?▼

A good prompt is focused on one problem domain, self-contained with pasted error messages and test names, explicit about constraints like not changing production code, and specific about the expected output such as a summary of root cause and fixes.

Can parallel agents conflict with each other when editing code?▼

Yes, if agents share state or edit the same files they can interfere. Prevent this by assigning strictly separate scopes per agent, then after they return, review each summary, check for overlapping edits, and run the full test suite.

Why do parallel agent dispatches sometimes run sequentially?▼

Agents only run in parallel when multiple dispatch calls are issued in the same response. Issuing one dispatch per response forces sequential execution, so batch all independent dispatches together.
