Use when several pieces of work are genuinely independent and can run at once, to fan them out across parallel agents instead of doing them in sequence. Cuts wall-clock time and keeps each strand in its own clean context.

Use when a written plan exists and you are about to build it in the current session, to work it task by task with a checkpoint after each. Keeps execution honest against the plan instead of drifting into a freehand build.
Use when work needs its own isolated checkout — parallel strands that would fight over files, or a risky change you want quarantined from the main tree. Gives each strand a real working directory on its own branch without re-cloning.
Use whenever the user says "use slipstream", "use superpowers", or starts any task in a project that has slipstream. A hard, always-on discipline that forces scoped reads over whole-file reads to save tokens, recalls memory before acting, and records what is durable every turn so memory grows constantly.
Use when a site needs to look designed rather than defaulted, before building sections: establish a cohesive design system of type scale, spacing, colour, radius and shadow tokens so every component shares one premium visual language.
Use when building the top of a landing page, to produce a high-impact hero with confident display type, a clear single call to action and balanced composition, the kind of opening a polished marketing site leads with.
Use when filling out a landing page below the hero, to build the polished marketing sections a premium site is made of: a feature grid, a logo or social-proof strip, a testimonial and a closing call to action.

Sequential work wastes time when the pieces do not depend on each other. Fanning independent strands out to parallel agents finishes them in the time of the slowest one, and each strand keeps its own focused context instead of crowding a single window. The discipline is knowing what is truly independent, briefing each strand so it needs nothing from the others, and reconciling the results once they all land.
This is the parallel sibling of [[subagent-driven-development]]: that skill runs tasks one at a time behind a review gate; this one runs them at once when nothing forces an order.
Every parallel strand owned a disjoint set of files, no brief depended on another strand's result, and the combined output passes the full suite after reconciliation.
