subagent SKILL.md skillA
subagent from bastani-inc/atomic is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add bastani-inc/atomic/subagent@git:20261102.303f29dPins git:20261102.303f29d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Delegate work to builtin or custom subagents with single-agent, parallel, forked-context, and intercom-coordinated runs. Use for bounded specialist delegation where a single parent agent stays in control while subagents contribute locate, analyze, pattern-find, research, debug, or simplify passes.
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
# Subagent This skill is for the main parent orchestrator only. Do not inject or follow it inside spawned child subagents. The parent session owns delegation, orchestration, review fanout, and final writer launches; child subagents should receive concrete role-specific tasks and should not run their own subagent workflows. Use this skill when bounded specialist delegation adds value and the parent should remain in control. Keep interactive, exploratory, conceptual, and conversation-led work inline. Multiple steps, files, tests, validation, or parallelism alone do not require a workflow; use a durable workflow for clearly delegated long-running autonomous jobs that materially need its lifecycle features. ## When to Use - **Parallel codebase discovery**: combine `codebase-locator`, `codebase-analyzer`, and `codebase-pattern-finder` to map where code lives, how it works, and what existing conventions look like — concurrently, with fresh context per child. - **Local research mining**: pair `codebase-research-locator` with `codebase-research-analyzer` to surface prior decisions in `research/` and `specs/` and extract what still applies. …

How to install
mdr add bastani-inc/atomic/subagent@sha256:cbff8b2f1c52827eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.303f29d, 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.
