Subagent Orchestration

Decompose work across parallel subagents properly — task slicing that avoids collisions, briefs that stand alone, and result integration that catches contradictions. Use when work can genuinely parallelise (research fan-outs, multi-file changes, independent analyses), when deciding whether to delegate or do it yourself, or when past multi-agent runs produced conflicts and duplicated effort. Produces an orchestration plan: the parallel/sequential split, per-agent briefs, and the integration protocol.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓The delegate-vs-do decision was made explicitly, with the brief-writing cost counted
✓No two parallel lanes write to the same artifact
✓Every brief contains its territory, its must-not-touch, and a stop condition
✓Shared assumptions were pinned before dispatch, not discovered at merge
✓Integration verifies the composed whole, not just each part
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not parallelise for the feeling of speed — two colliding agents are slower than one sequential pass
Do not write briefs that reference your context ("as discussed", "the usual way") — subagents weren't in the room
Do not average contradictory results — a contradiction is a defect to resolve, with a cause
Do not merge everything then verify once — verify at each join while causes are still traceable
Do not delegate the judgment-bearing core (the decision, the synthesis, the taste) — delegate the legwork around it
