# Parallel Feature Development

Split one big feature so the work does not collide

## What this does

A feature is big enough that several people or agents should work on it at once, and without a plan they will edit the same files and fight over merges. This helps you divide the work, say who owns what, and agree on the interfaces between the pieces so each side can build before the other is finished. Reach for it before the parallel work starts.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Break a large feature into independent streams
- Set who owns which files before anyone starts
- Agree interface contracts so both sides can build now

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Parallel Feature Development

This coordinates feature work happening in parallel: file ownership strategies, rules for avoiding conflicts, and patterns for integrating the pieces when multiple implementers are involved.

It covers decomposing a large feature into independent work streams, establishing file ownership so a shared codebase does not fill with merge conflicts, and designing interface contracts so parallel implementers can build against each other's APIs before those APIs are ready.

Use it when two or more implementers need to work on different layers of the same system at the same time, or when deciding whether a full-stack feature should be split into vertical slices or horizontal layers.

## Questions

### Is Parallel Feature Development safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Parallel Feature Development and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit ece811f23310, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/parallel-feature-development.

### How do I install Parallel Feature Development?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/parallel-feature-development on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/ece811f23310a37ceb43496dbac0e244fe6845b6/plugins/agent-teams/skills/parallel-feature-development. Install from that link, not the branch.
