parallel-agents

parallel-agents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from phuonghx/aim-cli. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,347 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Patterns for coordinating several specialist coding agents within one task and combining their findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for broad reviews or features involving several technical areas. It also covers running agents one after another and passing results between them.
Why use it?
It helps cover work that spans areas such as security, performance, architecture, testing, frontend, and backend without losing the handoff between reviewers.

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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Parallel Agents

This skill is about marshalling specialist agents through the platform's own Agent tool. Everything stays inside one session and under the host's control — no external scripts, no separate processes to babysit.

Is Orchestration The Right Call

Reach for it when:

  • The work genuinely spans several areas of expertise.
  • You want code looked at through security, performance, and quality lenses at once.
  • A review needs to cover architecture, security, and testing together.
  • A feature touches backend, frontend, and the data layer all at once.

Leave it alone when:

  • The task sits squarely in one domain.
  • It's a small fix or a quick edit.
  • A single agent would clearly suffice.

Calling Agents

A single specialist:

Have the security-auditor review the authentication flow.

A chain, one after another:

Start with explorer-agent to map the project layout.
Then backend-specialist to review the API surface.
Finally test-engineer to find the coverage gaps.

Passing findings down the chain:

Have frontend-specialist analyze the React components,
then hand those findings to test-engineer to write matching tests.

Picking up where one left off:

Resume agent [agentId] and continue with the extra requirements.

Three Orchestration Shapes

Whole-codebase review

explorer-agent → domain specialists → synthesis

1. explorer-agent maps the structure
2. security-auditor judges the security posture
3. backend-specialist weighs API quality
4. frontend-specialist reviews the UI patterns
5. test-engineer measures coverage
6. fold it all into one report

Reviewing a change

affected specialists → test-engineer

1. work out which domains the change touches
2. bring in just those specialists
3. test-engineer confirms the change holds
4. consolidate the recommendations

Security audit

security-auditor → penetration-tester → synthesis

1. security-auditor does the config and code review
2. penetration-tester probes for live vulnerabilities
3. synthesize with a prioritized fix list

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-agents is a skill published in the GitHub repository phuonghx/aim-cli (1 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,347 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
