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.

# Parallel Feature Development

Strategies for decomposing features into parallel work streams, establishing file ownership boundaries, avoiding conflicts, and integrating results from multiple implementer agents.

## When to Use This Skill

- Decomposing a feature for parallel implementation
- Establishing file ownership boundaries between agents
- Designing interface contracts between parallel work streams
- Choosing integration strategies (vertical slice vs horizontal layer)
- Managing branch and merge workflows for parallel development

## File Ownership Strategies

### By Directory

Assign each implementer ownership of specific directories:

```
implementer-1: src/components/auth/
implementer-2: src/api/auth/
implementer-3: tests/auth/
```

**Best for**: Well-organized codebases with clear directory boundaries.

### By Module

Assign ownership of logical modules (which may span directories):

```
implementer-1: Authentication module (login, register, logout)
implementer-2: Authorization module (roles, permissions, guards)
```

**Best for**: Feature-oriented architectures, domain-driven design.

### By Layer

Assign ownership of architectural layers:

```
implementer-1: UI layer (components, styles, layouts)
implementer-2: Business logic layer (services, validators)
implementer-3: Data layer (models, repositories, migrations)
```

**Best for**: Traditional MVC/layered architectures.
