parallel-feature-development

Coordinate parallel feature development with file ownership strategies, conflict avoidance rules, and integration patterns for multi-agent implementation. Use this skill when decomposing a large feature into independent work streams, when two or more agents need to implement different layers of the same system simultaneously, when establishing file ownership to prevent merge conflicts in a shared codebase, when designing interface contracts so parallel implementers can build against each other's APIs before they are ready, or when deciding whether to use vertical slices versus horizontal layers for a full-stack feature. Decomposing a feature for parallel implementation Establishing file ownership boundaries between agents

If a file genuinely needs changes from multiple implementers: When implementers need to coordinate at boundaries: Cons: More integration points, layer 3 depends on layers 1 and 2. Requires strict file ownership to avoid conflicts Interface contracts drifted: the implementer who owns the API changed a signature without notifying the test implementer. Enforce the rule that contract files require a broadcast before modification.
