Dispatching Parallel Agents
Overview
One agent per independent problem domain. Let them work concurrently.
Core principle: Dispatch one agent per independent problem domain.
When to Use
- 3+ test files failing with different root causes
- 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
- Identify independent domains
- Dispatch agents in parallel (ctx.parallel.all)
- Check for conflicts between solutions
- Run full test suite to verify integration
Agents Used
- Process agents defined in
dispatching-parallel-agents.js
