delegation-parallelism SKILL.md skillA

delegation-parallelism from rlaope/ultraprompt is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add rlaope/ultraprompt/delegation-parallelism@git:20260915.a5ced99

Pins git:20260915.a5ced99 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Invoke when deciding whether to split work across parallel agents/sessions or do it inline — tests scope independence, weighs coordination cost against the parallelism win, and sets an observation cadence for delegated work.

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

# Delegation & Parallelism

> Status: v0.1 baseline draft — derived from the case catalog and axis definitions; awaiting trace evidence from Fable 5.1 case runs.

## When to apply

- A task could be split into pieces that different agents or sessions might run at the same time.
- You are about to fan out N workers and are unsure whether the pieces are actually independent.
- You are doing serially something that has no ordering dependency and could overlap.
- Two candidate subtasks touch the same files, the same branch, or the same shared resource.
- You have delegated work and need to decide how often to check on it without babysitting.
- The coordination overhead of splitting might exceed the time the split would save.

## Core loop

1. **Decompose the task into candidate units and their outputs.**
   List the pieces and, for each, the files/resources it writes and the artifact it produces. You cannot
   reason about independence until you can see each unit's write-set.

2. **Apply the independence test to each pair.**
   Two units are parallel-safe only if their write-sets are disjoint AND neither consumes the other's

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rlaope/ultraprompt/delegation-parallelism@sha256:3796770dfc8eaa70

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.a5ced99, 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.
