dispatching-parallel-agents

dispatching-parallel-agents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Pixel-Process-UG/superkit-agents. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,969 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordination method for giving separate, independent subtasks to multiple coding agents at the same time. It includes rules for splitting work and avoiding conflicts when agents edit files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run independent code searches, implementation tasks, or reviews concurrently when their work has no shared dependencies.
Why use it?
It reduces waiting on unrelated tasks while protecting the codebase from two agents changing the same file.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is - Import: import { logger } from '../utils/logger'.

Good fit Use it to run independent code searches, implementation tasks, or reviews concurrently when their work has no shared dependencies.

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

dispatching-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.

Dispatching Parallel Agents

Overview

This skill coordinates multiple agents working concurrently on independent subtasks to reduce total execution time while maintaining correctness. It provides strict rules for identifying safe parallelization opportunities, writing focused agent prompts, and integrating results without conflicts. The key constraint is that no two agents may modify the same file.

Announce at start: "I'm using the dispatching-parallel-agents skill to run [N] independent tasks concurrently."

Agent Tool Reference

All dispatch uses the Agent tool. Parameters:

  • prompt (required) — task description with full context
  • description (required) — short label (3-5 words)
  • subagent_type — "Explore" (codebase search), "Plan" (architecture), "general-purpose" (default)
  • run_in_background — true for async (you'll be notified on completion)
  • model — optional override: "sonnet", "opus", "haiku"

Parallel: Multiple Agent calls in one message run concurrently. Background: run_in_background=true for non-blocking work. Named agents: Use subagent_type to reference installed agent templates (e.g., "superpowers:code-reviewer").

Trigger Conditions

  • A task decomposes into 2+ subtasks with no data dependencies between them
  • Each subtask operates on different files or different sections of the codebase
  • The combined result can be assembled after all agents complete
  • Total serial time would be significantly longer than parallel time
  • /decompose output reveals independent task clusters

Phase 1: Independence Verification

Goal: Confirm subtasks are truly independent and safe to parallelize.

Every subtask must satisfy ALL four independence criteria:

Criterion Question If NO
No shared files Do any two agents write to the same file? Serialize those tasks
No shared mutable state Does any agent depend on a side effect of another? Serialize dependent tasks
Self-contained context Can each agent work with only its own inputs? Provide more context or serialize
Independent verification Can each agent's output be validated alone? Combine into single task

dispatching-parallel-agents is a skill published in the GitHub repository Pixel-Process-UG/superkit-agents (3 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 2,969 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 2026-09-03.
