​
Parallel Tasks

Decompose. Build all tasks at once.

​
When to use

When the spec decomposes naturally into independent tasks with strictly disjoint blast radii. Parallel execution divides run duration by the number of tasks. 
gump run parallel-tasks --spec spec.md

​
The workflow

name: parallel-tasks
max_budget: 10.00

steps:
  - name: decompose
    type: split
    parallel: true
    get:
      prompt: |
        Decompose {spec} into independent tasks with strictly disjoint
        blast radii. No two tasks may touch the same file.
    run:
      agent: claude-opus
    gate: [schema]
    each:
      - name: impl
        type: code
        get:
          prompt: |
            Implement: {task.description}
            Only touch: {task.files}
        run:
          agent: claude-sonnet
          guard:
            max_turns: 60
        gate: [compile, test]
        retry:
          - attempt: 3
            agent: claude-opus
          - exit: 4

  - name: quality
    gate: [compile, lint, test]

​
How it works

parallel: true on the split step means each task gets its own worktree. Agents work simultaneously. Merge is sequential in declaration order. File conflict = fatal. Duration is that of the slowest task, not the sum.

​
Customize

Replace claude-sonnet with qwen.
Add untouched: "go.sum" to the impl gate.
Remove parallel: true to test the workflow sequentially before enabling parallelism.
