parallel-feature-development SKILL.md skillA

parallel-feature-development from wshobson/agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add wshobson/agents/parallel-feature-development@v1.0.2

Pins v1.0.2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Coordinate parallel feature development with file ownership strategies, conflict avoidance rules, and integration patterns for multi-agent implementation. Use this skill when decomposing a large feature into independent work streams, when two or more agents need to implement different layers of the same system simultaneously, when establishing file ownership to prevent merge conflicts in a shared codebase, when designing interface contracts so parallel implementers can build against each…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Parallel Feature Development

Strategies for decomposing features into parallel work streams, establishing file ownership boundaries, avoiding conflicts, and integrating results from multiple implementer agents.

## When to Use This Skill

- Decomposing a feature for parallel implementation
- Establishing file ownership boundaries between agents
- Designing interface contracts between parallel work streams
- Choosing integration strategies (vertical slice vs horizontal layer)
- Managing branch and merge workflows for parallel development

## File Ownership Strategies

### By Directory

Assign each implementer ownership of specific directories:

```
implementer-1: src/components/auth/
implementer-2: src/api/auth/
implementer-3: tests/auth/
```

**Best for**: Well-organized codebases with clear directory boundaries.

### By Module

Assign ownership of logical modules (which may span directories):

```
implementer-1: Authentication module (login, register, logout)
implementer-2: Authorization module (roles, permissions, guards)
```

**Best for**: Feature-oriented architectures, domain-driven design.

### By Layer

Assign ownership of architectural layers:

```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wshobson/agents/parallel-feature-development@sha256:9d39b7d0f3011a8e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
