The short answer
Parallel work can duplicate effort or propagate errors. Make one workflow work first, then decide whether tasks are genuinely independent.
Try it in three steps
- Separate source checking from wording edits.
- Give each role distinct inputs and outputs.
- Assign one merger and avoid simultaneous edits to the same file.
A practice prompt
Before you start
Use plain chat to design responsibilities only.
Practice material (fictional)
Work: verify a document's facts, then improve readability. Sources are fixed, but the rewrite depends on fact checking.Replace placeholders in the prompt with this material, or append the material if there are no placeholders. Reading time excludes doing the exercise.
Identify independent work and dependencies. Propose responsibilities without starting additional workers.What to look for (not a recorded test result)
The two stages depend on each other and are not wholly parallel. An independent formatting check can run separately, with one final merger.
If it goes wrong
Two roles agreeing without independent evidence do not provide extra verification.
Check your result
The split reduces waiting without introducing conflicts; otherwise keep one executor.
