6.0 Coordinating Parallel Agent Work | AI-Native Software Engineering — Asha

When does parallel agent work improve delivery? Asha connects dependency graphs, shared contracts, task ownership, worktrees, bounded concurrency, revision-aware handoffs, failure reconciliation, and verification of the joined feature. This standalone overview is chapter 00 of lesson 6 in AI-Native Software Engineering. The following chapters provide deeper worked examples. CHAPTERS 00:00 More agents can still deliver less 00:20 Place delegation inside the engineering loop 00:30 Start with the task graph 01:10 Choose a sequential pipeline when needed 01:51 Calculate the ideal schedule 02:31 Pass enough context to each worker 03:12 Validate the graph before dispatch 03:32 Describe the handoff with structured fields 04:13 A timeout does not necessarily stop work 04:43 Integrate under one owner 05:03 Prompt the coordinator with the dependency contract 05:34 Package the handoff review procedure 05:54 Adapt roles to the actual platform 06:14 Choose the simpler workflow when it wins 06:45 Measure delivery instead of busyness COURSE AND SOURCES https://storage.googleapis.com/intera... https://code.claude.com/docs/en/best-... https://cursor.com/blog/plan-mode https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/form... https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/form... https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/prompt... https://docs.python.org/3/library/con... https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree https://modelcontextprotocol.io/speci... The maintenance status, task graph, prompts, and code are synthetic teaching examples. Missing-date policy and calendar semantics must be agreed for a real application. Parallel timings exclude coordination and resource overhead. Product behavior and supported configuration can change; verify the installed version and official documentation.
