How to run several subagents against one repository without losing their work or misreporting it — taking a worktree's diff against the base that worktree actually had, closing a task with the verb instead of hand-editing two files, never reaching for a tree-wide destructive git command, and checking a claim about work in flight before saying it out loud. Use this skill whenever you are about to spawn subagents in worktrees, take work back out of one, say what an agent is doing or has done…

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

# Orchestrating parallel work

Running several agents against one repository is mostly bookkeeping, and the bookkeeping
fails in a small number of ways that all look like carelessness and are not. Each rule
below was written after the failure happened here, in a run where the orchestrator knew
the rule already. Knowing is not the problem. The moment of action is.

So every rule names the command that checks it. A rule you cannot check at the moment you
act is a rule you will follow when you are calm and skip when you are three agents deep.

## Before you say what an agent is doing

**A claim about work in flight is checked before it is spoken.** `ListAgents` says what is
running; `git status` in the worktree says what has been written. Both are cheap.

This exists because an orchestrator here reported a task as running when no agent had been
spawned for it — the task and its worktree had been created, the launch was intended, and
the intention got written down as a fact. The worktree was clean and the agent list was
empty; either check would have caught it in seconds.

The transcript size is not the signal. It does not grow while an agent works. The worktree
does.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aleksandarbisevac/claude-plugins/orchestrating-parallel-work@sha256:39dfe6ae12c4ef91

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.e5b743c, 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.
