Prevent task duplication, file conflicts, and coordination failures when multiple subagents work in parallel on the same Superagent project. Covers both Superagent→Subagent coordination and Master Agent→Superagent worktree coordination. Uses manage_plan and manage_tasks as the coordination hub.
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
# Preventing Subagent Collisions ## Overview Two separate collision scenarios exist in the 3-tier architecture. Both must be handled: | Scenario | Tier | Risk | |----------|------|------| | **A — Subagent collision** | Superagent → Subagents | Two subagents claim same task or edit same file within one worktree | | **B — Worktree collision** | Master Agent → Superagents | Two Superagents in different worktrees both edit shared files (package.json, CHANGELOG.md, AGENTS.md), causing merge conflicts | **Core principle (both scenarios):** The parent pre-assigns tasks AND file scopes before spawning. Shared files are never touched in parallel — always serialized. --- ## Scenario A — Subagent Collision (Superagent tier) ### The Coordination Model | File | Purpose | Owner | |------|---------|-------| | `_implementation_plan.md` | All tasks, file scopes, agent assignments | Parent (via `manage_plan`) | | `_task.md` | Active task checklist — status per task | Parent updates; subagents read only | | `_task_history.md` | Archive of completed tasks | Automatic | …

How to install
mdr add rudycity/superagent/Preventing Subagent Collisions@sha256:653b5dbc86f563f0The line at the top of this page pins the label v4.0.0, 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.
