# Dispatching Parallel Agents

## Overview

One agent per independent problem domain. Let them work concurrently.

**Core principle:** Dispatch one agent per independent problem domain.

## When to Use

- 3+ test files failing with different root causes
- Multiple subsystems broken independently
- Each problem understood without context from others
- No shared state between investigations

## When NOT to Use

- Failures are related (fix one might fix others)
- Need full system state understanding
- Agents would interfere (editing same files)

## Process

1. Identify independent domains
2. Dispatch agents in parallel (ctx.parallel.all)
3. Check for conflicts between solutions
4. Run full test suite to verify integration

## Agents Used

- Process agents defined in `dispatching-parallel-agents.js`
