Will running tasks in parallel affect my current working tree?

No, all parallel tasks are executed in isolated git worktrees, ensuring your main workspace remains untouched until you explicitly choose to merge the completed work.

Can I cancel a task if the agent gets stuck?

Yes, the /parallel cancel command will force-remove the specific worktree, delete the associated branch, and update the manifest to stop the task.

How does this skill prevent duplicate work?

Before launching a new task, the skill checks the .parallel/manifest.json for existing running tasks and uses fuzzy matching to warn you if a similar task is already in progress.

How do I monitor the progress of background tasks?

You can use the /parallel status command at any time to view a concise table including the task ID, branch name, current status, and description.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Manages concurrent, isolated development tasks using git worktrees to prevent workflow interruptions and maintain a clean workspace.

Parallel Workstreams enables developers to offload secondary tasks, documentation updates, or independent feature work to background agents without disrupting their active coding environment. By leveraging git worktrees and an automated manifest system, the skill ensures that background tasks remain isolated, tracked, and easily merged back once completed, effectively eliminating the friction of context switching and preventing duplicate efforts through fuzzy-match task detection.
