parallel-subagents

parallel-subagents is a skill for Claude Code from changoo89/claude-pilot. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,876 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordination workflow for assigning independent coding tasks to multiple teammates at the same time. It is intended for Agent Teams, where separate agents work on separate pieces of a plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for independent requirements, changes in separate files or directories, parallel checks such as tests and linting, or separate code and security reviews.
Why use it?
It reduces waiting when tasks do not depend on one another and supports parallel implementation, testing, and review.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

parallel-subagents scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SKILL: Parallel Teammates (Agent Teams Coordination)

Purpose: Concurrent teammate execution for independent tasks, 50-70% speedup Target: Team Leads coordinating multiple independent SCs/tasks in Agent Teams


Quick Start

When to Use This Skill

  • Multiple independent SCs (no shared files, no dependencies)
  • Independent code changes (different files/directories)
  • Parallel verification (testing, type-check, linting)
  • Multi-angle review (code-reviewer, security-analyst in parallel)

Quick Reference

# Spawn teammates for independent SCs (from execute-plan Step 3)
Spawn teammate "sc1-impl" with prompt:
  "You are a $SC_AGENT. Execute SC-1: Create authentication service.
  Skills: tdd, ralph-loop, vibe-coding. Mark task done when complete."

Spawn teammate "sc2-impl" with prompt:
  "You are a $SC_AGENT. Execute SC-2: Create user service.
  Skills: tdd, ralph-loop, vibe-coding. Mark task done when complete."

Spawn teammate "sc3-impl" with prompt:
  "You are a $SC_AGENT. Execute SC-3: Create database migrations.
  Skills: tdd, ralph-loop, vibe-coding. Mark task done when complete."

Note: $SC_AGENT is selected per-SC (not per-plan) in execute-plan Step 3 based on each SC's file paths and keywords. Different SCs may use different specialized agents (e.g., SC-1 → frontend-engineer, SC-2 → backend-engineer).

⚠️ What "Parallel" Means (CRITICAL)

Parallel = Multiple teammates spawned simultaneously in Agent Team:

# ✅ TRUE PARALLEL (single response, multiple Spawn calls)
Spawn teammate "sc1-impl" with prompt: "Execute SC-1..."
Spawn teammate "sc2-impl" with prompt: "Execute SC-2..."
Spawn teammate "sc3-impl" with prompt: "Execute SC-3..."

Sequential = One teammate per response (loop dispatch):

# ❌ NOT PARALLEL (even if called "parallel")
for SC in $SC_LIST; do
    Spawn teammate "impl-$SC" with prompt: "Execute $SC..."
done

Team Lead delegate mode: Coordinate only (Shift+Tab), never implement directly

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

parallel-subagents is a skill published in the GitHub repository changoo89/claude-pilot (20 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 1,876 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
