Which programming languages does this support?

While it can auto-detect most environments, it provides specific optimization hints for Django, TypeScript, and Go to better guide the task decomposition process.

How many times do I need to run this command?

You only need to run /parallel-setup once per project. After that, you use /parallel-decompose for each specific Technical Specification you want to process.

What files does /parallel-setup create?

It creates a 'parallel/' directory containing a README.md for workflow guidance, a .gitignore to manage generated scripts, and updates your CLAUDE.md with parallel development instructions.

Is /parallel-setup safe to run on existing projects?

Yes, the command is idempotent. It will not overwrite your existing files and only adds the infrastructure necessary for parallel multi-agent work.

Productivity & Workflow

Initializes a standardized infrastructure for multi-agent development workflows by creating a dedicated parallel processing directory.

This skill establishes the foundation for high-efficiency multi-agent development by creating a structured 'parallel/' directory at your project root. It automates the creation of documentation, version control rules, and project context files necessary to decompose complex Technical Specifications into discrete, agent-ready tasks. By providing a consistent organizational pattern, it enables developers to scale their output through parallel AI orchestration, ensuring that multiple agents can work on independent modules without context collisions.
