[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ask user whether to skip.
Prerequisites: MUST READ .claude/skills/shared/understand-code-first-protocol.md before executing.
-
docs/project-reference/domain-entities-reference.md — Domain entity catalog, relationships, cross-service sync (read when task involves business entities/models)
-
docs/test-specs/ — Test specifications by module (read existing TCs; generate/update test specs via /tdd-spec after implementation)
Process Discipline: MUST READ .claude/skills/shared/rationalization-prevention-protocol.md — counter "too simple for a plan" and "I'll refactor later" evasions.
Process Discipline: MUST READ .claude/skills/shared/red-flag-stop-conditions-protocol.md — STOP after 3+ failed attempts or when fix requires modifying 5+ files for a "simple" change.
Skill Variant: Variant of /cook — parallel multi-task implementation with subagents.
Quick Summary
Goal: Implement multiple independent tasks simultaneously using parallel fullstack-developer subagents.
Workflow:
-
Plan — Create plan with parallel phases and strict file ownership
-
Dispatch — Launch fullstack-developer subagents per phase
-
Merge — Integrate all changes and verify
-
Review — Run code-simplifier and review-changes
Key Rules:
-
Phases must have non-overlapping file ownership
-
User approval required before dispatching subagents
-
Break work into todo tasks; add final self-review task
Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
Execute these tasks in parallel for maximum efficiency: $ARGUMENTS
Mode: PARALLEL - Multiple subagents working concurrently.
Workflow
- Task Decomposition
-
Analyze tasks for independence
-
Group into parallelizable work units
-
Identify dependencies between units
-
Create dependency graph
-
External Memory: Write task analysis to .ai/workspace/analysis/{task-name}.analysis.md . Re-read before parallel dispatch.
- Parallel Research (if needed)
Launch multiple researcher subagents simultaneously:
Task A research ──┐ Task B research ──┼──► Synthesis Task C research ──┘
- Parallel Planning
-
Use planner subagent with synthesized research
-
Create plan with parallel-safe phases
-
Mark file ownership boundaries (prevent conflicts)
- Parallel Implementation
Launch multiple fullstack-developer subagents:
Phase 1 (Backend API) ──┐ Phase 2 (Frontend UI) ──┼──► Integration Phase 3 (Tests) ──┘
Critical: Each subagent must stay within file ownership boundaries.
- Integration & Testing
-
Merge parallel outputs
-
Use tester subagent for integration tests
-
Use debugger if integration issues found
- Review & Report
-
Use code-reviewer for final review
-
Consolidate all changes
-
Report to user
Parallelization Rules
Rule Description
File Ownership Each subagent owns specific files - no overlap
Dependency Order Respect dependency graph
Max Concurrent 3 subagents max to prevent conflicts
Sync Points Integration checkpoints between phases
When to Use
-
Multi-component features (backend + frontend)
-
Large refactoring across independent modules
-
Parallel test writing
-
Documentation updates alongside code
Example Task Split
"Add user authentication with login UI" ├── Backend API (subagent 1) │ ├── auth-controller.ts │ └── auth-service.ts ├── Frontend UI (subagent 2) │ ├── login-page.component.ts │ └── login-form.component.ts └── Tests (subagent 3) ├── auth.spec.ts └── login.e2e.ts
Trade-offs
Aspect Parallel Sequential
Speed ~2-3x faster Baseline
Coordination Higher complexity Simple
Conflicts Risk of merge issues None
Context Split across agents Unified
IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST FOLLOW)
-
Always plan and break work into many small todo tasks
-
Always add a final review todo task to verify work quality and identify fixes/enhancements
