Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies.
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
<skill>
<purpose>
When you have multiple independent problems, dispatch one agent per problem domain and let them work concurrently. Each agent gets isolated context — never your session's history. This preserves your context for coordination.
</purpose>
<triggers>
<rule>Use when 2+ independent tasks exist (different test files, subsystems, bugs).</rule>
<rule>Use when each problem can be understood without context from others.</rule>
<rule>Use when agents won't interfere (no shared state, no same-file edits).</rule>
</triggers>

How to install
mdr add brandonfla/bearpaws/dispatching-parallel-agents@sha256:3ac51bc75702f40fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.1297711, 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.
