SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When multiple unrelated test failures or bugs appear across different files and subsystems, investigating them sequentially wastes time and bloats a single agent's context. This Skill coordinates parallel agent dispatch so each independent problem domain is investigated concurrently with focused, self-contained instructions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Independent Domain Identification: Groups failures by root cause and decides whether problems are independent enough for parallel investigation. - Focused Agent Prompts: Provides a proven prompt structure with specific scope, constraints, context, and expected output for each dispatched agent. - Integration & Verification Workflow: Guides review of agent summaries, conflict detection, and full test suite validation after parallel fixes. - Use Case: After a major refactoring leaves 6 failures across 3 test files (abort logic, batch completion, race conditions), dispatch three agents in parallel, each fixing one file, then integrate all fixes with zero conflicts. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to dispatch one parallel agent per failing test file, giving each agent the failing test names, error messages, and a constraint to fix only that file.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Group failures by independent problem domain, then dispatch one agent per domain with a focused prompt containing the failing test names, error messages, and constraints. Each agent works concurrently, and you integrate their fixes afterward.

What makes a good prompt for a delegated debugging agent?▼

A good agent prompt is focused on one problem domain, self-contained with all needed context like error messages and test names, explicit about constraints such as not changing other code, and specific about the expected output summary.

When should I not dispatch parallel agents for debugging?▼

Avoid parallel dispatch when failures are related and fixing one might fix others, when understanding requires full system context, during exploratory debugging where the cause is unknown, or when agents would share state or edit the same files.

How do I verify fixes from multiple parallel agents don't conflict?▼

Read each agent's summary to understand what changed, 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.

Why do parallel agents fail when tasks share state?▼

Agents run with isolated context, so tasks that depend on shared files, resources, or sequential results cause interference and conflicts. Only dispatch in parallel when each problem can be understood and fixed independently.
