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 a single agent loses focus juggling unrelated contexts. This Skill provides a structured pattern for splitting independent problems into focused subagent tasks that run concurrently. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Independence Decision Framework: A decision flowchart and criteria to determine whether failures are independent enough for parallel dispatch or require sequential investigation. - Focused Agent Prompt Structure: Guidance for writing self-contained agent prompts with specific scope, constraints, context, and expected output format. - Parallel Dispatch Pattern: Instructions for issuing multiple subagent dispatches in a single response so they execute concurrently rather than sequentially. - Use Case: After a major refactoring leaves 6 test failures across 3 files (abort logic, batch completion, race conditions), dispatch one agent per file, then review summaries, check for conflicts, and run the full suite to integrate all fixes. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to split the current failing tests into independent problem domains and dispatch one focused subagent per domain 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 focused subagent per domain in a single response so they run concurrently. Each prompt should include the failing test names, error messages, constraints, and a required summary of findings.

How do I write a good prompt for a debugging subagent?▼

A good subagent prompt is focused on one problem domain, self-contained with all needed context such as error messages and test names, explicit about constraints like not changing unrelated 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 such as editing the same files.

How do I make subagents run in parallel instead of sequentially?▼

Issue all subagent dispatch calls in the same response; multiple dispatches in one response execute concurrently. Sending one dispatch per response forces sequential execution.

What should I do after parallel agents return their fixes?▼

Review each agent's summary, check whether agents edited overlapping code, run the full test suite to confirm the fixes work together, and spot-check changes since agents can make systematic errors.
