     IMPORTANT Instructions:
-    - Update TodoWrite as you complete each task (mark as completed)
-    - Follow task dependencies if specified
-    - Implement tasks in sequence unless independent
+    - **Parallel Execution**: Identify independent tasks from dependencies field and execute them in parallel using multiple tool calls in a single message
+    - **Dependency Respect**: Sequential tasks must wait for dependent tasks to complete before starting
+    - **TodoWrite Updates**: Mark tasks as in_progress when starting, completed when finished
+    - **Intelligent Grouping**: Analyze task dependencies to determine parallel groups - tasks with no file conflicts or logical dependencies can run simultaneously
     - Test functionality as you go
     - Handle risks proactively
