parallel-agents

parallel-agents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hoangatg/ai-agent-toolkit. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,273 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of parallel-agents, MIT.

A guide to coordinating several specialized AI agents on parts of a larger software task.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps organize security, performance, architecture, frontend, backend, database, and testing analysis.
Why use it?
It helps divide complex work that needs different kinds of expertise or independent reviews.

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-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 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to parallel-agents — 6 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.

Native Parallel Agents

Orchestration through AI Agent Toolkit's built-in Agent Tool

Overview

This skill enables coordinating multiple specialized agents through the AI Agent Toolkit's native agent system. Unlike external scripts, this approach keeps all orchestration within the toolkit's control.

When to Use Orchestration

Good for:

  • Complex tasks requiring multiple expertise domains
  • Code analysis from security, performance, and quality perspectives
  • Comprehensive reviews (architecture + security + testing)
  • Feature implementation needing backend + frontend + database work

Not for:

  • Simple, single-domain tasks
  • Quick fixes or small changes
  • Tasks where one agent suffices

Native Agent Invocation

Single Agent

Use the security-auditor agent to review authentication

Sequential Chain

First, use the explorer-agent to discover project structure.
Then, use the backend-specialist to review API endpoints.
Finally, use the test-engineer to identify test gaps.

With Context Passing

Use the frontend-specialist to analyze React components.
Based on those findings, have the test-engineer generate component tests.

Resume Previous Work

Resume agent [agentId] and continue with additional requirements.

Orchestration Patterns

Pattern 1: Comprehensive Analysis

Agents: explorer-agent → [domain-agents] → synthesis

1. explorer-agent: Map codebase structure
2. security-auditor: Security posture
3. backend-specialist: API quality
4. frontend-specialist: UI/UX patterns
5. test-engineer: Test coverage
6. Synthesize all findings

Pattern 2: Feature Review

Agents: affected-domain-agents → test-engineer

1. Identify affected domains (backend? frontend? both?)
2. Invoke relevant domain agents
3. test-engineer verifies changes
4. Synthesize recommendations

Pattern 3: Security Audit

Agents: security-auditor → penetration-tester → synthesis

1. security-auditor: Configuration and code review
2. penetration-tester: Active vulnerability testing
3. Synthesize with prioritized remediation

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-agents is a skill published in the GitHub repository hoangatg/ai-agent-toolkit (1 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,273 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to parallel-agents, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
