name: dispatching-parallel-agents
description: Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies.

  domains: [domain:software-engineering]
  skillAreas: [skill-area:agentic-loops, skill-area:orchestration-loop]
  workflows: [workflow:feature-development]
  topics: [topic:developer-experience]
  roles: [role:tech-lead, role:backend-engineer]

• Multiple subsystems broken independently
• Each problem understood without context from others
• No shared state between investigations

When NOT to Use

• Failures are related (fix one might fix others)
• Need full system state understanding
• Agents would interfere (editing same files)

Process

1. Identify independent domains 2. Dispatch agents in parallel (ctx.parallel.all) 3. Check for conflicts between solutions 4. Run full test suite to verify integration

Agents Used

• Process agents defined in `dispatching-parallel-agents.js`
