Bounded subagent delegation and synthesis. Use for explicit subagent, delegation, fan-out, spawn policy, custom agent routing, wait behavior, and evidence-first synthesis.
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
# Subspawn Keep subagents bounded. The main agent owns planning, waits for delegated results, synthesizes evidence, and makes final decisions unless the user says otherwise. ## Trigger Rules Use this skill when: - user asks for subagents, delegation, fan-out, or spawn policy - task benefits from 1-3 independent bounded subtasks - model or effort routing for subagents matters - session needs evidence-first synthesis across delegated results - custom agent selection or fork behavior matters Only spawn when the user explicitly asks for subagents or parallel agent work. Do not use this skill to rationalize extra delegation. Keep work local when delegation would add coordination cost without improving quality. ## User Overrides Explicit user instructions override the default delegation heuristics. If user specifies any below, honor unless unsafe or impossible: - exact fan-out count - mandatory delegation or mandatory no-delegation - specific subagent model - specific reasoning effort - explicit wait behavior - explicit read-only vs edit-capable delegation - specific custom agent role When override differs from default: - keep task bounded anyway …

How to install
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/subspawn@sha256:5d0a0ed050a4c872The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.16547f2, 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.
