👻 Familiar — Dispatching Sub-Agents...

Break large tasks into coordinated CC session prompts for parallel execution.

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

👻 Familiar — Dispatching sub-agents...

Then execute the protocol below.

Protocol

Analyze the task — identify independent sub-tasks that can run in parallel
Determine session count — split into 2-6 sessions based on complexity
For each sub-task, generate a complete CC prompt that includes:
- Working directory path
- Full task description with acceptance criteria
- Any shared context (database schema, API contracts, types)
- MemStack activation line:
```
Read $MEMSTACK_PATH/MEMSTACK.md
```
- CC Monitor reporting snippet (if configured in config.json)
Add coordination notes — specify what each session should NOT touch to avoid conflicts
Define merge order — which session's work should be committed first

Inputs

The large task description
Project directory from config.json
Number of available CC sessions (default: 3)

Outputs

Numbered list of sub-task prompts, each ready to paste into a new CC session
Coordination notes explaining dependencies and merge order

Example Usage

User: "dispatch — build the analytics dashboard, API routes, and database migration"

Familiar activates:

👻 Familiar — Dispatching sub-agents...

Session 1 — Database & Types
Working directory: C:\Projects\AdminStack
Task: Create migration + TypeScript types for analytics...

Session 2 — API Routes
Working directory: C:\Projects\AdminStack
Task: Build /api/analytics endpoints (types from Session 1)...

Session 3 — Frontend Page
Working directory: C:\Projects\AdminStack
Task: Build /analytics dashboard page...

Merge order: Session 1 → Session 2 → Session 3
