Dispatching Parallel Agents

Source: superpowers plugin (claude-plugins-official)

When to use

• Feature has independent frontend + backend work
• Multiple components that don't share state
• Running tests + linting + type-check simultaneously
• Writing docs while implementing

Pattern

Task A (independent) ─┐
Task B (independent) ─┼─→ merge results
Task C (independent) ─┘

Rules

• Tasks must NOT write to same files
• Tasks must NOT depend on each other's output
• Merge/integrate after all complete
• Use worktrees for large parallel branches (/using-git-worktrees)

Hackathon use cases

• Agent 1: Build UI component
• Agent 2: Build API endpoint
• Agent 3: Write tests → All run simultaneously → 3x speed
