dispatch-parallel

dispatch-parallel is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from momentmaker/kaijutsu. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,118 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to split independent coding tasks among several agents and combine their results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for parallel code reviews, multi-file investigations, or gathering information from multiple independent sources.
Why use it?
It reduces waiting when separate searches or review passes do not depend on one another.

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

dispatch-parallel 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.

dispatch-parallel

Sequential subtask execution wastes wall-clock time when subtasks are independent. This primitive captures the pattern of "decompose, dispatch, collect, synthesize" so other skills don't have to restate it.

When to invoke

  • A parent skill needs to run K independent passes / lenses / searches
  • The subtasks are read-only or write to disjoint state
  • Per-subtask cost dominates over coordination cost
  • The outputs can be merged or deduplicated post-hoc

Do not invoke when:

  • Subtasks share mutable state
  • Order matters (use sequential composition instead)
  • The work is small enough that one agent finishes faster than spawning N

The pattern

1. Decompose

Split the parent task into K self-contained subtasks. Each subtask must:

  • Have a clear input (what to look at)
  • Have a clear lens (what to look for)
  • Produce a structured output (list of findings, list of facts, etc.)
  • Be runnable without seeing the other subtasks' outputs

If you can't write a one-paragraph brief for a subtask, it's not decomposed enough.

2. Dispatch (per agent platform)

Agent Subagent primitive
Claude Code Task tool with subagent_type: general-purpose (or specialized) — multiple Task calls in a single response run in parallel
OpenAI Codex CLI codex agents spawn (where supported) or sequential with explicit context resets
Google Antigravity CLI activate_skill + delegated subtasks where supported; otherwise sequential

When the platform supports parallel calls in a single turn, use them. Otherwise, fall back to sequential — still apply the decompose/collect pattern, just lose the wall-clock win.

3. Collect

Each subagent returns a structured output. Aggregate into a single list. Tag every item with which subagent produced it (subagent_id, lens, etc.) so dedup and synthesis can preserve provenance.

4. Synthesize

Pick the synthesis pattern based on what the parent skill needs:

  • Merge — take the union of all outputs. Use when each subagent searches disjoint territory.
  • Dedupe — group equivalent items, keep the highest-confidence variant. Use for findings where the same issue might be spotted by multiple lenses.
  • Vote — items present in N+ subagent outputs are high-confidence. Use for adversarial review where agreement = signal.
  • Pick best — when each subagent produced a competing answer (e.g., draft prose), score them and pick. Often paired with multi-model-synth.

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.

dispatch-parallel is a skill published in the GitHub repository momentmaker/kaijutsu (3 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 1,118 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
