dispatching-parallel-agents

Patterns for effective subagent delegation and parallel execution. Use when a task decomposes into independent subtasks, when research spans multiple areas, when building features that require coordinated specialist work, or when sequential execution is wasting time. Covers work decomposition patterns (fan-out/fan-in, map-reduce, pipelines, scatter-gather), precise subagent briefing, context and filesystem isolation, result synthesis, failure handling, and anti-patterns like agent sprawl and context bleed. Platform-agnostic but integrates with this project's agent roster (investigator, implementer, reviewer, refactor-scout, etc.). Triggers: 'delegate', 'parallelize', 'fan out', 'multi-agent', 'subagent', 'split this work'.
