Break large tasks into coordinated CC session prompts for parallel execution.

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

👻 Familiar: Dispatching sub-agents...

Then execute the protocol below.

Protocol

  1. Analyze the task: identify independent sub-tasks that can run in parallel
  2. Determine session count: split into 2-6 sessions based on complexity
  3. For each sub-task, generate a complete CC prompt that includes:
    • Working directory path
    • Full task description with acceptance criteria
    • Any shared context (database schema, API contracts, types)
    • MemStack activation line: Read $MEMSTACK_PATH/MEMSTACK.md
    • CC Monitor reporting snippet (if configured in config.json)
  4. Add coordination notes: specify what each session should NOT touch to avoid conflicts
  5. Define merge order: which session's work should be committed first

Inputs

  • The large task description
  • Project directory from config.json
  • Number of available CC sessions (default: 3)

Outputs

  • Numbered list of sub-task prompts, each ready to paste into a new CC session
  • Coordination notes explaining dependencies and merge order

Example Usage

User: "dispatch: build the analytics dashboard, API routes, and database migration"

Familiar activates:

👻 Familiar: Dispatching sub-agents...

Session 1, Database & Types
Working directory: C:\Projects\AdminStack
Task: Create migration + TypeScript types for analytics...

Session 2, API Routes
Working directory: C:\Projects\AdminStack
Task: Build /api/analytics endpoints (types from Session 1)...

Session 3, Frontend Page
Working directory: C:\Projects\AdminStack
Task: Build /analytics dashboard page...

Merge order: Session 1 → Session 2 → Session 3
