parallel-execution

parallel-execution is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CloudAI-X/claude-workflow-v2. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,427 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of patterns for running independent coding tasks at the same time with multiple helper agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to split work across files or concerns, start helper agents concurrently, and give each one a focused task and expected output.
Why use it?
It helps reduce waiting when several tasks do not depend on one another. It also outlines how to avoid conflicts between parallel tasks.

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-execution 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 4d 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.

Parallel Execution Patterns

When to Load

  • Trigger: Multi-agent tasks, concurrent operations, spawning subagents, parallelizing independent work
  • Skip: Single-step tasks or sequential workflows with no parallelization opportunity

Core Concept

Parallel execution spawns multiple subagents simultaneously using the Task tool with run_in_background: true. This enables N tasks to run concurrently, dramatically reducing total execution time.

Critical Rule: ALL Task calls MUST be in a SINGLE assistant message for true parallelism. If Task calls are in separate messages, they run sequentially.

Execution Protocol

Step 1: Identify Parallelizable Tasks

Before spawning, verify tasks are independent:

  • No task depends on another's output
  • Tasks target different files or concerns
  • Can run simultaneously without conflicts

Step 2: Prepare Dynamic Subagent Prompts

Each subagent receives a custom prompt defining its role:

You are a [ROLE] specialist for this specific task.

Task: [CLEAR DESCRIPTION]

Context:
[RELEVANT CONTEXT ABOUT THE CODEBASE/PROJECT]

Files to work with:
[SPECIFIC FILES OR PATTERNS]

Output format:
[EXPECTED OUTPUT STRUCTURE]

Focus areas:
- [PRIORITY 1]
- [PRIORITY 2]

Step 3: Launch All Tasks in ONE Message

CRITICAL: Make ALL Task calls in the SAME assistant message:

I'm launching N parallel subagents:

[Task 1]
description: "Subagent A - [brief purpose]"
prompt: "[detailed instructions for subagent A]"
run_in_background: true

[Task 2]
description: "Subagent B - [brief purpose]"
prompt: "[detailed instructions for subagent B]"
run_in_background: true

[Task 3]
description: "Subagent C - [brief purpose]"
prompt: "[detailed instructions for subagent C]"
run_in_background: true

Step 4: Retrieve Results with TaskOutput

After launching, retrieve each result:

[Wait for completion, then retrieve]

TaskOutput: task_1_id
TaskOutput: task_2_id
TaskOutput: task_3_id

Step 5: Synthesize Results

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-execution is a skill published in the GitHub repository CloudAI-X/claude-workflow-v2 (1,413 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,427 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.
