dispatching-parallel-agents

dispatching-parallel-agents is a skill for Claude Code from charlieviettq/awesome-agent-skill. It costs 37 tokens per session (430 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for splitting independent development work among multiple software agents, then checking and combining their results.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for parallel code reviews, research tasks, and implementation work with separate file ownership and a final integration review.
Why use it?
It provides rules for deciding when parallel work is safe and helps prevent agents from editing the same files or producing conflicting changes.

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

dispatching-parallel-agents 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Dispatching parallel agents

Gate (required)

Use this skill only if:

  • User or parent explicitly allows parallel subagents, and
  • Tasks are independent (no shared files, no ordering dependency on partial output)

If either condition fails, use sequential incremental-implementation instead.

When to use

  • Independent reviews (security + tests + API contract) on the same commit
  • Parallel research spikes with separate output files
  • Large plan with disjoint file ownership per task

When not to use

  • Single shared module being edited by multiple agents
  • Database migrations or sequential deploy steps
  • User did not approve multi-agent execution

Workflow

  1. Partition — list tasks with disjoint Files: sets
  2. Brief — each agent gets scope, constraints, verify command, output format
  3. Dispatch — run parallel agents; cap concurrency to what the harness supports
  4. Collect — gather outputs without assuming correctness
  5. Integrate — parent reconciles conflicts, runs full verification, single commit strategy per user rules

Integration checklist

  • No conflicting edits to the same paths
  • Combined diff reviewed by parent (or requesting-code-review)
  • Full test/lint suite on integrated result
  • User informed of what each agent did

Anti-patterns

  • Parallel implementers on the same feature branch without file boundaries
  • Merging subagent output without reading diffs
  • Spawning agents to avoid reading the codebase

Changes

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.
