description	Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies. Dispatch subagents to work concurrently.

Dispatch Multiple Agents

When you have multiple independent tasks, don't do them sequentially. Dispatch agents to work in parallel.

When to Use

Use when:

• 3+ independent tasks need attention
• Tasks don't share state or resources
• No dependencies between tasks
• Speed matters

Don't use when:

• Tasks are related (fixing one might fix others)
• Tasks share files/resources (would conflict)
• You need full system context for all tasks
• Tasks must happen in specific order

The Pattern

1. Identify Independent Domains

Group work by what's needed:

• Task A: Research competitor A
• Task B: Research competitor B
• Task C: Research competitor C

Each is independent.

2. Create Focused Tasks

Each subagent gets:

• Specific scope: One clear task
• All context needed: Don't make them hunt
• Clear output: What should they return?
• Constraints: What NOT to touch

3. Dispatch in Parallel

Using sessions_spawn for concurrent execution.

4. Review and Integrate

When agents return:

• Read each result
• Verify no conflicts
• Integrate findings
• Report summary

Integration with Other Skills

Use dispatch-multiple-agents WITHIN the workflow:

brainstorming → write-plan → dispatch-multiple-agents → verify-task
                                   ↓
                            doing-tasks (per subagent)

Example

Problem: Research 5 competitors

Dispatch:

• Agent 1 → Competitor A
• Agent 2 → Competitor B
• Agent 3 → Competitor C
• Agent 4 → Competitor D
• Agent 5 → Competitor E

Result: Full analysis in minutes, not hours.
