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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00026 | $0.01396 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00558 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00279 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00140 |
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 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.
This is a copy
92% identical to dispatching-parallel-agents — 35 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Dispatching Parallel Agents
Overview
When you have multiple unrelated failures (different test files, different subsystems, different bugs), investigating them sequentially wastes time. Each investigation is independent and can happen in parallel.
Core principle: Dispatch one agent per independent problem domain. Let them work concurrently.
When to Use
digraph when_to_use {
"Multiple failures?" [shape=diamond];
"Are they independent?" [shape=diamond];
"Single agent investigates all" [shape=box];
"One agent per problem domain" [shape=box];
"Can they work in parallel?" [shape=diamond];
"Sequential agents" [shape=box];
"Parallel dispatch" [shape=box];
"Multiple failures?" -> "Are they independent?" [label="yes"];
"Are they independent?" -> "Single agent investigates all" [label="no - related"];
"Are they independent?" -> "Can they work in parallel?" [label="yes"];
"Can they work in parallel?" -> "Parallel dispatch" [label="yes"];
"Can they work in parallel?" -> "Sequential agents" [label="no - shared state"];
}
Use when:
- 3+ test files failing with different root causes
- Multiple subsystems broken independently
- Each problem can be understood without context from others
- No shared state between investigations
Don't use when:
- Failures are related (fix one might fix others)
- Need to understand full system state
- Agents would interfere with each other
The Pattern
1. Identify Independent Domains
Group failures by what's broken:
- File A tests: Tool approval flow
- File B tests: Batch completion behavior
- File C tests: Abort functionality
Each domain is independent - fixing tool approval doesn't affect abort tests.
2. Create Focused Agent Tasks
Each agent gets:
- Specific scope: One test file or subsystem
- Clear goal: Make these tests pass
- Constraints: Don't change other code
- Expected output: Summary of what you found and fixed
3. Dispatch in Parallel
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.

dispatching-parallel-agents is a skill published in the GitHub repository HK-hub/AgentSkills (6 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 1,396 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to dispatching-parallel-agents, differing in 35 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
atelier-orchestrator
Skill routing and workflow orchestration. Selects Inline Plan or Spec-backed Plan, routes to the correct workflow skill, and manages transitions between phases. Use when starting any conversation or task to determine which planning mode and skill apply.
atelier-setup
Configure a repository for Atelier's development workflow. Use only when explicitly invoked; inspect existing guidance, issue-tracker and domain-document conventions, preview the proposed configuration, and write only after approval. It does not install Atelier or initialize external tooling.
note
Capture session context as a structured, frontmatter-rich markdown note under .rp1/work/notes/ with auto-maintained index and log.
refit
Cross-session environment retrospective driven by OMC's own instrumentation — trace timelines, friction reports, logs, and plan notepads. Every finding lands on the surface that owns the fix (deterministic check, steering volume, tooling, or information access); nothing is written without user approval.
minimal-code-discipline
YAGNI-ladder coding discipline for writing changes — existence-first, reuse before writing, dependency ladder, shortest correct diff, with non-negotiables that must never be minimized away.
wayfinder
A planning method that maps a large, uncertain project into linked decision tickets in a repository's issue tracker. An issue tracker is a system for recording and organizing project work.
