processing-parallel-tasks

processing-parallel-tasks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from christian289/dotnet-with-claudecode. It costs 32 tokens per session (805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to running CPU-heavy .NET work across multiple processor cores at the same time. It covers Parallel APIs, PLINQ for parallel LINQ queries, data partitioning, and thread-safe collections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for tasks such as processing many images, transforming large data sets, searching collections, or distributing loops and queries across available CPU cores.
Why use it?
It helps reduce the time spent processing large independent workloads and avoids unsafe access to shared data when several tasks run together.

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

processing-parallel-tasks 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.

.NET Parallel Processing

A guide for APIs and patterns for parallel processing of CPU-bound tasks.

Quick Reference: See QUICKREF.md for essential patterns at a glance.

1. Core APIs

API Purpose
Parallel.For, Parallel.ForEach CPU-bound parallel processing
PLINQ (.AsParallel()) LINQ query parallelization
Partitioner<T> Large data partitioning
ConcurrentDictionary<K,V> Thread-safe dictionary

2. Parallel Class

2.1 Parallel.ForEach

public sealed class ImageProcessor
{
    public void ProcessImages(IEnumerable<string> imagePaths)
    {
        var options = new ParallelOptions
        {
            MaxDegreeOfParallelism = Environment.ProcessorCount
        };

        Parallel.ForEach(imagePaths, options, path =>
        {
            ProcessImage(path);
        });
    }
}

2.2 Early Termination

Parallel.For(0, data.Length, (i, state) =>
{
    if (data[i] == target)
    {
        state.Break();
    }
});

3. PLINQ

var results = data
    .AsParallel()
    .WithDegreeOfParallelism(Environment.ProcessorCount)
    .Where(d => d.IsValid)
    .Select(d => Transform(d))
    .ToList();

// When order preservation is needed
var results = data
    .AsParallel()
    .AsOrdered()
    .Select(d => Process(d))
    .ToList();

4. Thread-Safe Collections

Collection Purpose
ConcurrentDictionary<K,V> Thread-safe dictionary
ConcurrentQueue<T> Thread-safe FIFO queue
ConcurrentBag<T> Thread-safe unordered collection
// Collecting results during parallel processing
var results = new ConcurrentBag<Result>();

Parallel.ForEach(data, item =>
{
    var result = Process(item);
    results.Add(result);
});

5. ThreadLocal

Prevents contention with thread-local variables

private readonly ThreadLocal<StringBuilder> _localBuilder =
    new(() => new StringBuilder());

public void ProcessInParallel()
{
    Parallel.For(0, 1000, i =>
    {
        var sb = _localBuilder.Value!;
        sb.Clear();
        sb.Append(i);
    });
}

What ships with it

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.

processing-parallel-tasks is a skill published in the GitHub repository christian289/dotnet-with-claudecode (41 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 805 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
