dispatching-parallel-agents SKILL.md skillA
dispatching-parallel-agents from invergent-ai/surogates is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add invergent-ai/surogates/dispatching-parallel-agents@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Split 2+ independent investigations or tasks across sub-agents (delegate_task) and merge the results.
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
# Dispatching Parallel Agents
## Overview
You delegate tasks to specialized sub-agents with isolated context. By precisely crafting their instructions and context, you ensure they stay focused and succeed at their task. They never inherit your session's context or history — you construct exactly what they need. This also preserves your own context for coordination work.
When you have multiple unrelated problems (different files, different subsystems, different bugs, different research domains), investigating them sequentially wastes time. Each investigation is independent and can happen in parallel.
**Core principle:** Dispatch one sub-agent per independent problem domain. Let them work concurrently.
## When to Use
```dot
digraph when_to_use {
"Multiple problems?" [shape=diamond];
"Are they independent?" [shape=diamond];
"Single agent investigates all" [shape=box];
"One sub-agent per problem domain" [shape=box];
"Can they work in parallel?" [shape=diamond];
"Sequential sub-agents" [shape=box];
"Parallel dispatch" [shape=box];
"Multiple problems?" -> "Are they independent?" [label="yes"];

How to install
mdr add invergent-ai/surogates/dispatching-parallel-agents@sha256:7b7a0a1c0378dd27The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
