parallel-issues

A workflow for handling several GitHub issues at the same time in separate Git worktrees, which are independent working folders for one repository. It uses taskMaestro workers and separates issues that edit the same files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning, starting, monitoring, and completing batches of GitHub issues in parallel.
Why use it?
It reduces merge conflicts and shortens the time needed to work through multiple issues, provided the required command-line tools and a clean repository are available.

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

parallel-issues 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 — 560 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Parallel Issues

Execute multiple GitHub issues in parallel using taskMaestro worktrees with AUTO mode workers.

Follow every step in order. Stop and report if any critical step fails.

Prerequisites

  • tmux installed and available
  • gh CLI authenticated with repo access
  • claude CLI available in PATH
  • Git repository with a clean working tree on master
  • /taskmaestro skill available (low-level tmux/worktree management)

Constants

MAX_PANES=4              # default max concurrent panes
POLL_INTERVAL=30         # seconds between progress checks
MAX_WAVE_WAIT=3600       # seconds before wave timeout (60 min)
PLAN_DIR="docs/plans"    # where to write plan documents

Iron Rule: Zero-Conflict Guarantee

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  SAME FILE modified by 2+ issues = DIFFERENT WAVES  │
│  No exceptions. No "trivial rebase". No optimism.   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Origin: Wave 1 incident where issues #733 and #734 ran in parallel, both modifying the same YAML files. PRs #750 and #751 had merge conflicts. The file overlap matrix was created but "different YAML fields" was incorrectly treated as non-conflicting.

Enforcement:

  1. Validate at file unit, never at field/line unit
  2. If file overlap count >= 1 between any two issues, they go to different waves
  3. Wave plan must pass the Zero-Conflict Check before execution
  4. No human override allowed for this rule

Phase 1: Issue Collection & Analysis

Step 1.1: Parse Arguments

Input formats:
  /parallel-issues 732 733 734 735        # space-separated
  /parallel-issues 732,733,734,735        # comma-separated
  /parallel-issues 732-743                # range
  /parallel-issues --parent 731           # all sub-issues of #731
  /parallel-issues 732-743 --panes 3     # limit concurrent panes

Parse $ARGUMENTS to extract a list of issue numbers. If --panes is provided, store the value (default: MAX_PANES).

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

parallel-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository JeremyDev87/codingbuddy (31 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5 tokens to every session and 4,031 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
