Parallel Development Planner FAQs

Question 1

How does this skill manage multiple 'developers' simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

The skill uses tmux to launch separate Claude instances in dedicated git worktrees. Each instance works on a specific task branch, while a central Merge Coordinator agent oversees the entire process.

Question 2

What is the benefit of using git worktree in this workflow?

Accepted Answer

Git worktrees allow different AI agents to work on separate branches in isolated directories within the same repository, preventing file locks and environment interference.

Question 3

Can I use this on an existing project or only new ones?

Accepted Answer

It supports both. Mode A is optimized for new project initialization, while Mode B (Quick Task Mode) is designed for adding features or fixes to existing codebases.

Question 4

Does this skill require manual setup for each task?

Accepted Answer

No, the skill automates the environment setup, including creating worktrees, installing dependencies, and passing specific instruction sets to each worker agent.

Question 5

How are merge conflicts handled between the parallel tasks?

Accepted Answer

The workflow designates a 'Merge Coordinator' Claude who is specifically responsible for merging worker branches into the integration branch, resolving conflicts, and verifying tests.
