How do I monitor the progress of parallel workers?

Workers use a standardized commit prefix protocol (e.g., [CHECKPOINT], [BLOCKED], [COMPLETE]) which allows the orchestrator to track the status of the entire project through the git log.

Can I use this for a single-file project?

Parallelization is not recommended for single-file projects. In these cases, the orchestrator will identify the overlap and recommend a sequential task list instead.

Do I need to manually set up the git branches?

No, the orchestrator generates the exact git worktree and branch creation commands for you to execute, ensuring a standardized naming convention across all workers.

How does this skill prevent merge conflicts?

It uses strict file-scope validation during the planning phase to ensure each worker has exclusive ownership of the files they are modifying, flagging overlaps for sequential execution instead.

What are worker kickoff prompts?

These are specialized, context-aware instructions generated by the orchestrator that you copy-paste into new Claude Code sessions to define that specific worker's scope, tasks, and rules.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Orchestrates multiple parallel Claude Code sessions using git worktrees to accelerate complex development tasks.

The Parallel Workflow Orchestrator transforms Claude into a project manager capable of coordinating multiple concurrent workstreams. By leveraging git worktrees, it isolates tasks into separate environments, allowing independent workers to handle specific modules or features simultaneously. This skill excels at parsing complex requirement documents, identifying dependencies, and generating the necessary CLI commands and kickoff prompts to launch synchronized Claude Code sessions while preventing merge conflicts through strict file-scope validation.
