flow-parallel from nyldn/claude-octopus is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/flow-parallel@git:20261007.9f7aada

Pins git:20261007.9f7aada in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Decompose and execute large changes, migrations, or multi-issue fixes in parallel with quality gates.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# STOP - SKILL ALREADY LOADED

**DO NOT call Skill() again. DO NOT load any more skills. Execute directly.**

---

## EXECUTION CONTRACT (MANDATORY - CANNOT SKIP)

This skill uses **ENFORCED execution mode**. You MUST follow this exact 7-step sequence.

**Architectural Principle:** Task tool subagents do NOT load plugins. Independent `claude -p` processes DO. This skill spawns independent `claude -p` processes so each work package gets the full Octopus plugin, its own Double Diamond, agents, and quality gates.

---

### STEP 1: Clarifying Questions (MANDATORY)

**Ask via AskUserQuestion BEFORE any other action.**

You MUST gather these inputs from the user — without scope, count, and dependency answers, the decomposition will be generic and produce overlapping work packages that cause merge conflicts:

```
AskUserQuestion with these questions:

1. **Compound task**: What compound task should be decomposed?
   - Use inline args if provided (e.g., /octo:parallel "build auth system")
   - If no args: ask "What compound task should I decompose into parallel work packages?"

2. **Work package count**: How many work packages?
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/flow-parallel@sha256:8aa1180b6ced1761

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.9f7aada, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
