Parallel builder

/parallel-builder

Orchestrate building many files at once without merge conflicts.

When to use

• Building 3+ independent components/pages
• Migrating many files to a new pattern
• Generating boilerplate across a feature

How it works

1. Divide — split work into independent batches (no shared file edits within a batch)
2. Register shared files — identify files that multiple batches might touch
3. Spawn subagents — one per batch, working on independent files
4. Coordinate — main agent handles shared files after all subagents complete
5. Verify — build + typecheck to catch integration issues

Shared File Registry

Before spawning agents, identify files that appear in multiple batches:

Shared files (main agent handles these AFTER subagents finish):
- Router config (e.g., routes.tsx, app.module.ts)
- Barrel exports (e.g., index.ts)
- Shared types (e.g., types.ts)

<!-- CONFIGURE: List your project's typical shared/coordination files -->

Rule: subagents never edit shared files. Only the main agent does, after all parallel work completes.

Batch Size Guidelines

Files to build	Strategy
1-2	Just do it sequentially — no need for parallel
3-5	2-3 subagents
6-10	3-4 subagents
10+	4-5 subagents max (diminishing returns)

Pre-flight Checklist

Before spawning:

• All target directories exist
• Shared files identified and excluded from subagent scope
• Each batch's files are truly independent
• Build passes before starting (clean baseline)

Post-flight Checklist

After all subagents complete:

• Update shared files (routes, exports, types)
• Run build + typecheck
• Verify no duplicate exports or circular imports
• Spot-check a sample of generated files
