Description
Coordinate parallel agent execution for complex multi-step tasks using background agents and delegation patterns.

Parallel Agent Execution Skill

This skill enables efficient multi-agent coordination for complex tasks.

When to Use

  • Complex tasks requiring multiple exploration paths
  • Research + implementation in parallel
  • Large refactoring across multiple files
  • Tasks benefiting from diverse approaches

Available Agents

Built-in Agents

| Agent | Purpose | Mode | |-------|---------|------| | @agent | Autonomous coding | Full access | | #ask | Q&A, explanations | Read-only | | #edit | Direct file editing | Write | | Plan | Research & planning | Read-only | | Research | KB lookup | Read-only | | Planner | Implementation design | Read-only |

GitHub Copilot Coding Agent

For async background work that creates PRs:

Use: mcp_github_github_assign_copilot_to_issue
Result: Creates branch (copilot/*) and opens PR

Parallelism Patterns

Pattern 1: Explore-Then-Implement

1. Fire Research agent for solutions
2. Fire Planner agent for design
3. Wait for both results
4. Implement using @agent

Pattern 2: Multi-File Refactor

1. Use runSubagent for each file group
2. Coordinate changes via todo list
3. Apply changes sequentially

Pattern 3: Research + Code

1. Parallel: KB search + web fetch + file read
2. Sequential: Plan → Implement → Test

Best Practices

  1. Never parallelize terminal commands - Run sequentially
  2. Parallelize read operations - file reads, searches, fetches
  3. Use todo list - Track multi-step progress
  4. Delegate exploration - Use subagents for research
  5. Commit per turn - When using background agents

Task Delegation Table

| Task Type | Recommended Agent | |-----------|-------------------| | Algorithm research | Research subagent | | Code generation | @agent | | File exploration | runSubagent | | Quick edits | #edit | | Planning | Plan subagent | | Async PR work | Copilot Coding Agent |
