Can I control how many tasks are processed at once?

Yes, you can pass an optional argument to specify the number of issues (e.g., /parallel-assign 5). It defaults to 3 and supports up to 5 parallel agents.

Does it automatically merge code into the main branch?

No, it follows a safe workflow by pushing feature branches and creating Pull Requests, requiring a human developer to perform the final review and merge.

Do I need to install any specific tools for this to work?

This skill requires the Viban CLI and GitHub CLI (gh) to be installed and configured in your terminal environment.

How does this skill prevent file conflicts between agents?

It utilizes git worktrees to create separate physical directories for every assigned issue, ensuring each AI agent works on its own branch in an isolated environment.

What happens if one of the parallel agents fails?

The coordinator tracks each agent individually. If one fails, it reports the error while still processing the successful tasks, ensuring the backlog isn't blocked by a single failure.

Productivity & Workflow

Resolves multiple independent backlog issues simultaneously using isolated git worktrees and coordinated AI sub-agents.

The Parallel Issue Resolver skill dramatically scales developer productivity by dispatching multiple Claude Opus sub-agents to tackle independent backlog items in parallel. By leveraging git worktrees, it ensures each agent operates in a clean, isolated environment to prevent file conflicts and race conditions. This skill orchestrates the entire development lifecycle—from issue assignment and environment setup to code implementation, verification, and automated pull request creation—allowing teams to clear technical debt and feature backlogs at unprecedented speeds.
