parallelization

parallelization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hajekim/agentic-design-patterns-skills. It costs 373 tokens per session (2,675 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow pattern that runs independent model calls, tools, or agents at the same time and combines their results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for independent subtasks, repeated work across data items, and workflows that split work before aggregating the results.
Why use it?
It reduces waiting when tasks do not depend on one another.

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

parallelization 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 1mo 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.

Parallelization Pattern

Overview

The Parallelization Pattern enables multiple components — LLM calls, tool invocations, or entire sub-agents — to execute simultaneously rather than sequentially. By identifying parts of a workflow that are independent of each other, this pattern dramatically reduces total execution time and increases system throughput.

Core Principle: Identify independence — run what doesn't depend on each other at the same time, then synchronize results.

When This Skill Applies

Activate this pattern when:

  • Multiple sub-tasks can be performed independently (no data dependency between them)
  • External services (APIs, databases) introduce latency that can be overlapped
  • The same task must be performed on multiple data items independently
  • Throughput and speed are critical system requirements
  • A workflow has a natural fan-out (distribute) → fan-in (aggregate) structure

Rule of thumb: If Step B doesn't need Step A's output to begin, run them simultaneously.

DEFINE → PLAN → ACTION Workflow

DEFINE

Identify the parallelism opportunities:

  1. Which sub-tasks have no data dependency on each other?
  2. Which steps interact with external services (API calls, database queries, searches)?
  3. Where does the workflow have a natural fan-out structure?
  4. What synchronization point (fan-in) collects all parallel results?

PLAN

Design the parallel architecture:

  1. Map the dependency graph — which nodes can run concurrently?
  2. Define the fan-out: distribute tasks to parallel workers/agents
  3. Define the fan-in: collect and aggregate results from all parallel branches
  4. Identify which subsequent steps are sequential (depend on aggregated results)
  5. Plan error handling: what happens if one parallel branch fails?

ACTION

Implement parallel execution:

  1. Use async/await, threading, or framework-native parallel execution primitives
  2. Launch all independent tasks concurrently
  3. Use synchronization primitives (gather, join, await all) to collect results
  4. Pass aggregated results to the sequential continuation step
  5. Monitor and handle partial failures gracefully

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.

parallelization is a skill published in the GitHub repository hajekim/agentic-design-patterns-skills (4 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 373 tokens to every session and 2,675 once invoked, about $0.0015 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
