description: Use when facing two or more independent tasks in Cursor that can be investigated or executed in parallel without conflicting edits or shared state.

Dispatching Parallel Agents

Goal

Speed up independent work by splitting it into isolated parallel tasks.

When To Use

• unrelated failures in different areas
• separate review tasks on different files
• exploration tasks that do not depend on each other
• implementation tasks that touch different code paths

Rules

• Only split work that is genuinely independent.
• Avoid parallel edits to the same files unless the plan is coordinated.
• Give each parallel task a narrow scope and a clear expected output.
• Integrate and review the results before declaring success.
