parallel-task

Parallel Task Runner

Use Orchestration Mode. Parse plan files and delegate tasks to parallel subagents.

Safety Boundaries

• Do not launch subagents for tasks that share write scope until the dependency is resolved.
• Do not continue past blockers silently; surface the blocked task and stop that branch of work.
• Do not mark tasks complete until validation from the plan has actually been checked.
• Do not run this skill unless the user explicitly invoked /parallel-task or clearly asked for parallel agent work.

Process

Step 1: Parse Request

Extract from user request:

1. Plan file: The markdown plan to read
2. Sprint/Phase (optional): Which section to run

If sprint not provided, ask user which to run.

Step 2: Read & Parse Plan

1. Find sprint/phase section (e.g., ## Sprint 1:)
2. Extract task subsections (e.g., ### Task 1.1:)
3. For each task, extract:
   • Task ID and name
   • Full content (description, location, acceptance criteria, validation)
4. Build task list

Step 3: Launch Subagents

For each task, launch subagent with:

• description: "Implement task [ID]: [name]"
• prompt: Use template below

If there are multiple unblocked tasks, launch multiple subagents in parallel.

Task Prompt Template

You are implementing a specific task from a development plan.

## Context
- Plan: [filename] - [sprint/phase]
- Goals: [relevant overview from plan]
- Dependencies: [prerequisites for this task]
- Related tasks: [tasks in same sprint]
- Constraints: [risks from plan]

## Your Task
**Task [ID]: [Name]**

Location: [File paths]
Description: [Full description]

Acceptance Criteria:
[List from plan]

Validation:
[Tests or verification from plan]

## Instructions
1. Examine and explore the plan, all relevant files & dependencies. Ensure ambiguities are cleared up.
2. Implement changes for all acceptance criteria
3. Keep work **atomic and committable**
4. For each file: read first, edit carefully, preserve formatting
5. Run validation if feasible
6. Return summary of:
   - Files modified/created
   - Changes made
   - How criteria are satisfied
   - Validation performed or deferred

## Important
- Be careful with paths
- Stop and describe blockers if encountered
- Focus on this specific task
