Description
parallel-feature-development is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for splitting a feature into work streams that several implementer agents, or developers, can build at the same time without colliding. The skill covers the decomposition of a feature into parallel pieces, and the file ownership strategies that keep each piece in its own area. Ownership can be assigned by directory, so each implementer owns specific folders, and the skill sets out conflict avoidance rules for the places where two streams must touch the same file. It covers the interface contracts that let parallel streams agree on how their parts fit together before they are built, and the choice of integration strategy, such as a vertical slice that delivers a complete thin feature or a horizontal layer that builds one layer across the feature. It also covers managing branches and merges so the parallel work comes together cleanly. The skill applies when decomposing a feature for parallel implementation, establishing file ownership boundaries between agents, designing interface contracts between streams, choosing between vertical and horizontal integration, and managing the branch and merge workflow. It helps coordination rather than writing the code itself, and the integration step is where the team checks that the pieces fit. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 9.7K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…

parallel-feature-development FAQ
What does this skill help with?
Splitting one feature into pieces that several implementers can build at once, without stepping on each other.
How is file ownership assigned?
The skill covers assigning each implementer specific directories, plus rules for files that more than one stream must touch.
Vertical or horizontal?
The skill covers both integration strategies: a vertical slice delivers a complete thin feature, and a horizontal layer builds one layer across it.
Does it write the code?
It is about coordinating the work streams, the contracts between them and the merge. The implementers still build the code.
How do I install it?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/wshobson/agents --skill parallel-feature-development.
What security audits does it have?
skills.sh lists three audits: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass and Snyk Pass.
