parallel-feature-development
Coordinate parallel feature development with file ownership strategies, conflict avoidance rules, and integration patterns.
- Provides three file ownership models (by directory, module, or layer) and enforces the cardinal rule: one owner per file to prevent merge conflicts
- Defines interface contracts as read-only coordination points between implementers, allowing shared boundaries without direct file conflicts
- Covers two integration patterns (vertical slice for independent features, horizontal layer for specialized roles) plus hybrid approaches for mixed coupling scenarios
- Includes branch management strategies: single-branch for small teams with strict ownership, multi-branch for larger teams with explicit merge points
Parallel Feature Development
Strategies for decomposing features into parallel work streams, establishing file ownership boundaries, avoiding conflicts, and integrating results from multiple implementer agents.
When to Use This Skill
- Decomposing a feature for parallel implementation
- Establishing file ownership boundaries between agents
- Designing interface contracts between parallel work streams
- Choosing integration strategies (vertical slice vs horizontal layer)
- Managing branch and merge workflows for parallel development
File Ownership Strategies
By Directory
Assign each implementer ownership of specific directories:
