Dispatching Parallel Agents

When to Use

  • Tasks are truly independent (no shared files, no sequential dependency)
  • Each task is well-defined with clear success criteria
  • 2-5 tasks in parallel (more than 5 becomes hard to review)

Process

  1. List all tasks and confirm independence
  2. For each task, write a self-contained prompt including:
    • Full context (don't assume agent knows anything)
    • Exact files to touch
    • Success criteria
    • How to verify
  3. Dispatch all agents simultaneously using the Agent tool
  4. Collect results and merge
  5. Run verification across all changes together
  6. Invoke requesting-code-review to dispatch the code-reviewer agent on merged result, then handle findings via receiving-code-review

Safety

Never dispatch agents for tasks involving shared state — race conditions and conflicts will waste more time than sequential execution saves.
