fleet-parallel

A workflow for splitting a large task into independent pieces and having multiple AI agents work on those pieces at the same time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for repeated refactoring, bulk testing, reviewing several pull requests, or running separate code, documentation, or migration tasks.
Why use it?
It shortens batch work when files or tasks do not depend on one another, while avoiding parallel changes that could conflict.

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

fleet-parallel 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 328 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fleet Mode Parallel Execution

Why This is Copilot-Exclusive

Copilot CLI's Fleet mode launches multiple autonomous agents in parallel, each working on an independent subtask in its own context window. This is a fundamentally different execution model — not just "run commands in parallel" but full AI agents running concurrently with their own tool access. Those subagents are also steerable: if an in-flight agent starts drifting, you can send a follow-up message to correct course instead of waiting for the whole run to finish.

When to Use

  • Refactoring the same pattern across many files simultaneously
  • Reviewing multiple PRs or issues in parallel
  • Running independent code generation tasks (tests, docs, migrations)
  • Batch-processing items where each item needs AI reasoning, not just scripting
  • Any task that decomposes into 3+ independent units of work

When NOT to Use

Instead of fleet-parallel Use
A single-file or single-function change Work directly in the current session
A task with ordered dependencies between steps Plan the sequence and run it serially
Subtasks that would edit the same file, lockfile, or generated artifact Split ownership first or avoid fleet mode
A tiny batch of 2-3 trivial items Handle them sequentially unless agent overhead is clearly worth it

Write-Scope Conflict Guard

Before launching any fleet batch, validate that no two agents share write scope:

Rule: Same file = sequential. Different files = parallel.
  • List all files each subtask will modify
  • If two tasks name the same file, one must wait — do not launch them in the same batch
  • Lockfiles, generated files, and shared config are treated the same as source files
  • If scope overlap is discovered mid-run, stop the later agent, let the earlier one finish, then requeue

Workflow

1. Use the /fleet Slash Command (Recommended)

The simplest way to trigger fleet mode is the /fleet command:

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.

fleet-parallel is a skill published in the GitHub repository drvoss/everything-copilot-cli (45 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 3,347 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.
