Dispatching Parallel Agents

When you have multiple unrelated failures or independent tasks, 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 This Skill

• 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

When NOT to Use

• Related failures — Fix one might fix others; investigate together first
• Need full context — Understanding requires seeing entire system
• Exploratory debugging — You don't know what's broken yet
• Shared state — Agents would interfere (editing same files, using same resources)
