From augments
Use when you have two or more genuinely independent pieces of work — separate failing tests, unrelated bugs, parallel research threads — that share no files, no state, and no ordering. Fan them out to concurrent agents, each with its own scope and deliverable, then reconcile. Skip when tasks depend on each other or share a file (sequence them with executing-plans), or when the work is quick enough inline.

Run independent work concurrently instead of in series. The win is wall-clock; the risk is collision — so this applies only when the pieces genuinely don't touch each other.

using-git-worktrees).Each agent starts cold — hand it everything, never your session history:
Pass bulky context — a diff, a spec, a log — as a file path the agent reads, not pasted text: a paste sits in the most expensive context for the whole run, a path costs nothing until opened.
When agents return: read each deliverable, integrate them yourself, then run the combined check — the tests across all the changes together. N green agents do not prove the whole is green. Surface any agent that reported blocked or out-of-scope rather than papering over it.
