Orchestrator

Parallel agents, async workflows

Characteristics

Approach

Parallel agents, async workflows

Turns per task

1-2

Mental model

AI as team of specialists to coordinate

Error response

Analyze root cause, adjust orchestration

Impact

Requests per feature

1-2 requests per feature (or feature set)

Rework rate

Minimal rework rate (<10%)

Context quality

Maximum parallel efficiency

What It Looks Like

User: "Add email validation, rate limiting, and audit logging 
       to user registration. Use dispatching-parallel-agents 
       since these are independent."
AI: *invokes dispatching-parallel-agents*
    *dispatches 3 parallel agents*
    *each agent uses appropriate skills*
    *aggregates results*
    *invokes verification-before-completion*
    "All 3 features implemented, tested, verified."

Common Patterns

  • Identifies independent work upfront
  • Uses parallel agents for efficiency
  • Keeps main context clean with subagents
  • Sophisticated skill composition
  • Async workflows for long-running tasks

How to Level Up

The shift

Stop optimizing yourself, start optimizing the team.

Practice
  • 1.Notice when you repeat a workflow
  • 2.Document it as a skill using writing-skills
  • 3.Share it with your team
  • 4.Mentor L1-L2 users on planning-first approach
