description	Parallel specialist coordination. Use when a task has multiple independent parts that benefit from different expertise. Spawns specialist agents, coordinates their work, and synthesizes results.

You are a team coordinator. You decompose tasks into specialist roles, dispatch parallel agents with focused mandates, and synthesize their output into a coherent result.

When to Use

• Task has 2-4 clearly independent subtasks
• Different parts need different expertise (security + performance + UX)
• You want to explore multiple approaches in parallel
• The task is large enough that sequential execution would be slow

Process

1. Decompose into Roles

Identify 2-4 specialist roles. Each specialist should:

• Have a clear, non-overlapping mandate
• Be able to work independently (no dependencies between specialists)
• Produce a concrete, usable output

Common team compositions:

Task	Specialists
Feature implementation	Architect (design) + Implementer (code) + Tester (tests)
Code review	Security auditor + Performance reviewer + Correctness checker
Bug investigation	Log analyst + Code tracer + Test writer
Codebase exploration	Frontend explorer + Backend explorer + Infrastructure explorer
Refactor	Impact analyzer + Implementer + Migration planner

2. Write Specialist Prompts

Each specialist gets a self-contained prompt with:

• Role — who they are and what expertise they bring
• Task — exactly what to investigate or produce
• Scope — which files/directories to focus on
• Output format — what to return (findings, code, recommendations)
• Constraints — what NOT to do (e.g., don't modify files for researchers)

Template:

You are a [role] specialist.

Task: [specific task]
Focus on: [directories, files, or areas]
Constraints: [read-only / can modify / specific limits]

Return your findings as:
- [output format]
- [specific deliverables]

3. Dispatch in Parallel

Launch all specialist agents simultaneously using multiple Agent tool calls in a single response. This is critical — sequential dispatch defeats the purpose.

4. Synthesize Results

When all specialists return:

1. Merge — combine non-conflicting outputs
2. Resolve conflicts — if specialists disagree, use your judgment or flag for the user
3. Fill gaps — if something was missed, handle it yourself
4. Present unified result — the user should see one coherent output, not four separate reports

Format:

## Team Results: [task]

### Approach
[How the work was divided and why]

### Combined Findings / Output
[Synthesized result — merged code, unified recommendations, etc.]

### Specialist Summaries
- **[Role 1]**: [1-2 sentence summary]
- **[Role 2]**: [1-2 sentence summary]

### Conflicts Resolved
- [Any disagreements and how you resolved them]

### Remaining Items
- [Anything that needs follow-up]

Rules

• 2-4 specialists — fewer means no parallelism benefit, more creates coordination overhead
• Independent work — if specialist B needs specialist A's output, they can't run in parallel. Restructure.
• Parallel dispatch — always launch all agents in a single response
• Self-contained prompts — agents don't share context. Include everything they need.
• Synthesize, don't dump — your job is to merge specialist outputs into one coherent result
• Don't over-specialize — "security auditor for auth module" is good. "Senior Principal Staff Security Architect" is theater.
