skill-parallel-orchestration

A procedure for splitting a large job into independent smaller jobs and running them through separate agents. It also explains how to choose the right instructions for the agent platform in use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decompose projects, select vendor-specific agent instructions, and manage work across multiple sub-agents.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to coordinate parallel work without relying on platform-specific assumptions.

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

skill-parallel-orchestration 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/generate_wrappers.py, scripts/spawn_agent_mock.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 356 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Parallel Orchestration Skill

Purpose: vendor-agnostic protocol for the Orchestrator Role to decompose large tasks into independent units and execute them via parallel sub-agent spawning. Specific tool names, directory layouts, and invocation syntax are delegated to per-vendor reference files in references/.


1. Load the right reference (mandatory step — Read tool, now)

Before applying any protocol below, use the Read tool to load the matching reference file now. Do not proceed to §2 with only this SKILL.md in context — the reference supplies the concrete tool names and invocation syntax that the universal concepts below need to become executable.

1.1 Detection

Walk upward from the current working directory toward the filesystem root (or stop at a .git boundary if that's closer) and check for vendor markers:

Runtime indicator (first match wins) Read Status
CLAUDE.md + .claude/agents/ present references/claude-code.md Reference implementation (complete, smoke-tested)
.codex/agents/ directory present references/codex-cli.md Scaffold — primitives documented from primary docs (parallel ✅ confirmed); not yet e2e-validated
GEMINI.md present, no .claude/agents/ references/gemini-cli.md Scaffold — subagent format documented; ⚠️ Layer-A (parallel) unconfirmed in primary docs
.cursor/ directory present references/cursor.md Scaffold — primitives documented from primary docs (parallel ✅ max-10); not yet e2e-validated
.antigravity/ directory present (provisional — ⚠️ ambiguous: Antigravity shares AGENTS.md w/ Codex + ~/.gemini/ w/ Gemini) references/antigravity.md Scaffold — primitives documented (parallel ✅ async); dynamic-first (static custom-agent wrappers scaffolded); not e2e-validated
None of the above, or vendor has no parallel-spawn primitive references/sequential-fallback.md Universal-by-design; unvalidated on non-Claude runtimes (see file for caveats)

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.

skill-parallel-orchestration is a skill published in the GitHub repository MatrixFounder/Agentic-development (5 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 8,031 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
