FG-0402 Parallel Agent Dispatch
Description
Invoke multiple specialized agents simultaneously for complex tasks that span multiple domains. Parallel Agent Dispatch is multi-agent orchestration applied to a single mission: identify the domains involved, select the appropriate specialists, brief them simultaneously, and coordinate their parallel execution. This maximizes throughput by using the model's ability to work on multiple fronts at once.
Implementation
Define dispatch criteria: when does a task warrant multiple agents? (Typically when it spans 2+ domains.) Create a dispatch format that includes: mission name, participating agents, individual assignments, coordination requirements, and expected deliverables. Track progress across all dispatched agents. Establish a convergence point where parallel work is integrated.
Success Indicators
- Complex tasks are completed faster through parallel execution
- Dispatched agents work independently without blocking each other
- Parallel outputs integrate coherently at convergence points
- The team knows when to dispatch multiple agents vs. work sequentially
Failure Modes
- Dispatching agents for tasks that are inherently sequential
- No convergence plan: parallel work products can't be integrated
- Coordination overhead exceeding the benefit of parallelism
- Agents duplicating work because assignments overlap
