What happens if tasks turn out to be dependent during execution?

The skill includes a 'Review and Integrate' phase where it verifies no conflicts occurred. If conflicts are found, it prompts for manual resolution and a regrouping of tasks.

How does this skill prevent merge conflicts between agents?

It performs strict independence checks to ensure agents are not editing the same files and utilizes a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) to identify and respect logical dependencies between features.

Do I need a dag.yaml file to use this skill?

While the skill is most powerful when used with a dag.yaml for structured feature planning, it can also function without one by grouping independent failures by subsystem or file.

When should I use parallel dispatching instead of sequential implementation?

Use parallel dispatching when you have multiple tasks that are truly independent, meaning they don't share file dependencies or require the same specific context, such as fixing unrelated bugs in different subsystems.

生产力与工作流

Orchestrates and executes multiple independent coding tasks simultaneously using automated dependency analysis and sub-agent management.

The arc-dispatching-parallel skill empowers Claude to scale productivity by identifying and executing independent tasks in parallel within a single worktree session. By utilizing Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) analysis, it determines which features, bug fixes, or research tasks can be safely handled concurrently without file-level conflicts. This skill automates the creation of focused prompts for sub-agents, monitors their execution, and manages the integration of their outputs, making it an essential tool for high-velocity development, large-scale refactoring, and complex multi-feature implementations.
