Analyze task dependencies for parallel execution

Analyze task dependencies for parallel execution is a skill for Claude Code from Intai/story-flow. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,330 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide that reads a story’s task list and maps which tasks depend on one another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze file and logical dependencies, detect same-file conflicts, and group implementation and quality-assurance tasks into parallel or sequential batches.
Why use it?
It shows which work must happen in order and which tasks can safely be assigned at the same time.

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

Analyze task dependencies for parallel execution 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 8d 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.

Analyze task dependencies for parallel execution

Instructions

  • Read the story markdown file using the Read tool.
  • Parse all tasks from the "## Tasks" section.
  • Analyze each task to identify dependencies:
    • File dependencies: Tasks that update/create files that other tasks depend on
    • Logical dependencies: Tasks that must complete before others
    • Same-file conflicts: Tasks that modify the same file cannot run in parallel
    • Parallel agents: Multiple agents of the same type can work in parallel - focus only on technical dependencies
    • QA independence: Test scenario planning tasks depend only on story and can start immediately in parallel with implementation tasks
  • Group tasks into parallel execution batches using these formats:
    • **Sequential tasks X-Y:** for tasks that need to be implemented sequentially with no prerequisites
    • **Sequential tasks X-Y after task Z completes:** for a sequential chain that depends on one prerequisite task
    • **Sequential tasks X-Y after tasks A-B complete:** for a sequential chain that depends on multiple prerequisite tasks
    • **Parallel tasks X-Y:** for tasks with no dependencies that can start immediately
    • **Parallel after task X completes:** for parallel tasks depending on a single prerequisite task
    • **Parallel after tasks X-Y complete:** for parallel tasks depending on multiple prerequisite tasks
  • Number tasks sequentially (1, 2, 3...) across all groups
  • Keep the original task descriptions with their agent assignments and file paths

Parallelism Strategy

When analyzing dependencies, prefer parallelism by default:

  • Only create sequential dependencies when there's a true code-level dependency (file imports, component usage)
  • Assume infrastructure and config will be ready at runtime
  • Group tasks by file conflicts, not by logical workflow order
  • Maximize the number of tasks that can start immediately
  • Remember: multiple agents can work simultaneously on different files

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.

Analyze task dependencies for parallel execution is a skill published in the GitHub repository Intai/story-flow (12 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 1,330 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
