dispatching-parallel-agents

A way to assign one subagent to each independent area of investigation or repair. A subagent is a separate agent working on part of the task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Investigating separate failing test files, subsystems, or bugs in parallel when they can be handled independently.
Why use it?
It can reduce waiting when two or more failures are unrelated and do not share state or depend on a particular order. It is not intended for work with dependencies between the parts.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 2d 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 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.

setup

First-run experience for the harness. Three modes: Recommended (guided, 3 min), Full Tour (guided + skill walkthrough, 8 min), and Express (zero questions, 30 sec). Installs hooks first, detects stack, configures harness.json, runs a live demo on real code, and prints a reference card.

daemon

Continuous autonomous operation mode. Keeps campaigns running 24/7 by chaining Claude Code sessions via RemoteTrigger. Each session picks up from the campaign's continuation state, works until context runs low or the phase completes, then schedules the next session. Auto-stops on campaign completion or budget…

evolve

Research-driven multi-cycle improvement director. Forms causal hypotheses about why scores are low, validates them with scout agents before attacking, dispatches axis-parallel fleet attacks, extracts transferable patterns, and runs indefinitely within a budget envelope. Accumulates a persistent belief model and…

Autonomous quality improvement loop. Scores a target against a rubric, selects the highest-leverage axis, attacks it, verifies, documents, and loops. No pre-planning between iterations — each loop re-scores from scratch.

Focused research investigations. Converts questions into structured findings with confidence levels and source citations. Single agent by default; with --parallel (or when the question decomposes into 3+ independent angles) it spawns scout agents whose findings are compressed into a unified brief. Does not make…

ascii-diagram

Generate perfectly aligned ASCII diagrams — architecture, flow, sequence, box-and-arrow. Uses a programmatic character-grid approach so alignment is guaranteed by math, not token prediction. Includes post-render verification.
