BMAD Parallel Executor

I automatically detect when a BMAD story has parallel-eligible tasks and offer to spawn agents.

Activation

I activate when:

• /dev-story command completes
• User explicitly requests story parallelization
• A story file is updated with new tasks

Detection Logic

Copydef should_parallelize(story_file):
    tasks = parse_tasks(story_file)
    parallel_tasks = [t for t in tasks if is_parallel(t)]
    return len(parallel_tasks) >= 3

BMAD Context

I include BMAD artifacts in each agent's context:

Agent Prompt Template

CopyYou are a BMAD implementation agent.

## Your Task
{task_description}

## Story Context
{story_content}

## Project Artifacts
- PRD: {prd_summary}
- Architecture: {arch_summary}
- Tech Spec: {spec_summary}

## Instructions
1. Implement ONLY the assigned task
2. Follow existing code patterns
3. Write tests for new functionality
4. Commit with message: "feat(story): {task_name}"
5. Output TASK_COMPLETE when done

Begin implementation.

Integration with Base

This skill extends the base parallel-executor skill:

• Uses same worktree pattern
• Same monitoring commands
• Same merge workflow
