SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Investigating multiple unrelated test failures or subsystem bugs sequentially wastes time. This Skill provides a structured pattern for delegating independent problems to parallel subagents with isolated context, so each failure gets investigated and fixed concurrently. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Independent Domain Identification: Group failures by root cause (e.g., abort logic vs. batch completion vs. race conditions) to decide whether parallel dispatch is appropriate. - Focused Agent Prompts: Construct self-contained agent tasks with specific scope, constraints, and expected output so agents stay on target without inheriting session context. - Parallel Dispatch & Integration: Issue multiple subagent dispatches in one response for concurrent execution, then review summaries, check for conflicts, and run the full test suite. - Use Case: After a major refactoring leaves 6 failures across 3 test files, dispatch one agent per file to fix them concurrently, then integrate the independent fixes into a green suite. ## Quick Start Dispatch one subagent per failing test file to investigate and fix each independent failure in parallel, then review their summaries and run the full test suite.

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

Group failures by independent root cause, then dispatch one subagent per problem domain in the same response so they run concurrently. Each agent gets a focused prompt with the failing test names, error messages, constraints, and a required summary of findings.

When should I dispatch parallel agents instead of fixing failures sequentially?▼

Use parallel dispatch when failures are independent, such as different test files or subsystems with no shared state. If fixing one failure might fix others, or agents would edit the same files, investigate sequentially instead.

What makes a good subagent prompt for fixing test failures?▼

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 changes.

When should I not use parallel agent dispatch?▼

Avoid it when failures are related, when understanding requires full system context, during exploratory debugging where the cause is unknown, or when agents would interfere through shared state like editing the same files.

How do I verify fixes from multiple parallel agents do not conflict?▼

Read each agent's summary, check whether agents edited the same code, run the full test suite to confirm all fixes work together, and spot check results since agents can make systematic errors.
