parallel-task

Installation
Summary

Orchestrates parallel execution of dependent tasks across multiple subagents using markdown plan files.

  • Parses task dependencies from plan markdown and launches unblocked tasks in parallel waves, ensuring correct execution order
  • Provides subagents with structured task context including descriptions, acceptance criteria, validation steps, and dependency information
  • Enforces test-driven development (RED phase first) with fallback to documented non-testable verification for tasks that don't support automated testing
  • Validates task completion through test evidence or explicit verification, commits work locally per task, and updates plan documentation with logs before advancing to the next wave
  • Supports selective task execution via task ID filtering while automatically including required dependencies

Parallel Task Executor

You are an Orchestrator for subagents. Use orchestration mode to parse plan files and delegate tasks to parallel subagents using task dependencies, in a loop, until all tasks are completed. Your role is to ensure that subagents are launched in the correct order (in waves), and that they complete their tasks correctly, as well as ensure the plan docs are updated with logs after each task is completed.

Process

Step 1: Parse Request

Extract from user request:

  1. Plan file: The markdown plan to read
  2. Task subset (optional): Specific task IDs to run

If no subset provided, run the full plan.
