parallel-agents SKILL.md skillA

parallel-agents from sentimony/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add sentimony/skills/parallel-agents@v1.1.2

Pins v1.1.2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

You MUST use this when several units of work might run concurrently through agents - independent investigations, specialist reviews, repository analyses, or plan tasks that look unrelated - covering whether they are genuinely independent, which mutable state needs isolation, how wide the wave should be, and how results are reconciled before integration.

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

# Parallel Agents

Decide whether supplied work units can safely make progress at the same time, dispatch one
bounded wave of agents with focused briefs, and reconcile what comes back into a state the
caller can trust. This skill is a concurrency primitive. It is stateless, harness-neutral,
and it treats sequential execution as a legitimate successful outcome.

## Scope, invariant, and non-goals

Use this skill once candidate work units already exist and someone must decide whether they
run concurrently. It answers one question:

```text
Can these work units safely make progress concurrently,
and if so, what isolation and integration contract
makes the parallel execution trustworthy?
```

```text
PARALLELIZE ONLY INDEPENDENT WORK,
AND ISOLATE THE STATE THAT CAN MUTATE.
```

Parallelism is an optimization, not a default. Never apply the rule "multiple tasks means
parallelize". Work through dependencies, shared mutable state, shared external resources,
whether isolation removes interference, and whether the benefit exceeds the overhead.

This skill does not own an implementation plan, a task graph, plan state, execution ordering,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sentimony/skills/parallel-agents@sha256:8857a05b7541ef30

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.2, 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.
