dispatching-parallel-agents
Use when facing 3+ independent failures that can be investigated without shared state or dependencies - dispatches multiple Claude agents to investigate and fix independent problems concurrently
Why this skill is useful
Provides a structured approach for dispatching multiple agents to handle independent failures, which the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Dispatching Parallel Agents Overview When you have multiple unrelated failures (different test files, different subsystems, different bugs), investigating them sequentially wastes time. Each investigation is independent and can happen in parallel. Core principle: Dispatch one agent per independent problem domain. Let them work concurrently. When to Use Use when: 3+ test files failing with different root causes Multiple subsystems broken independently Each problem can be understood without context from others No shared state between investigations Don't use when: Failures are related (fix one might fix others) Need to understand full system state Agents would interfere with each other The Pattern 1. Identify Independent Domains Group failures by what's broken: File A tests: Tool approval flow File B tests: Batch completion behavior File C tests: Abort functionality Each domain is independent - fixing tool approval doesn't affect abort tests. 2. Create Focused Agent Tasks Each agent gets: Specific scope: One test file or subsystem Clear goal: Make these tests pass Constraints: Don't change other code Expected output: Summary of what you found and fixed 3. Dispatch in Parallel 4. Review and Integrate When agents return: Read each summary Verify fixes don't conflict Run full test suite Integrate all changes Agent Prompt Structure Good agent prompts are: 1. Focused - One clear problem domain 2. Self-contained - All context needed to understand the problem 3. …
