Parallel Feature Development

This is the playbook for splitting feature work across multiple AI agents without them stepping on each other's toes. It covers file ownership strategies (by directory, module, or layer), the cardinal rule of one owner per file, and integration patterns like vertical slices versus horizontal layers. The interface contract approach is smart: create a shared types file that nobody touches, so both the UI and API implementers can work in parallel against the same agreed upon signature. The troubleshooting section is honest about what actually goes wrong, like when barrel files create conflicts or when your initial decomposition turns out to be wrong mid-stream. If you're orchestrating multiple agents on the same codebase, this gives you the structure to avoid merge hell.
