Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies, when fanning out review-finding fixes in parallel, or when checking a reviewer's Parallel-safe: line before doing so.
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
> **Related skills:** Verify all fixes with `/skill:verification-before-completion`. # Dispatching Parallel Agents ## Overview When you have multiple **independent tasks** — unrelated test failures, or implementation tasks from a plan wave — that touch disjoint files, running them sequentially wastes time. Each can happen in parallel. **Core principle:** Dispatch one agent per independent problem domain (one bug, one subsystem, or one plan task). Let them work concurrently. This skill is the **mechanic home** for parallel fan-out: fresh-context isolation, `worktree: true` filesystem isolation, and serial patch integration. `subagent-driven-development`'s wave loop builds its per-wave dispatch on this skill - debugging is the worked example below, but the mechanics are identical for implementation tasks. Gauntlet flow callers dispatch foreground: explicitly set top-level `async: false`, including retries and prose-described dispatches. `forceTopLevelAsync` is incompatible; if an async handle is returned anyway, stop and report rather than polling or relaunching. See [pi-cohort dispatch configuration](https://github.com/jjuraszek/pi-cohort/blob/main/doc/configuration.md). …

How to install
mdr add jjuraszek/pi-gauntlet/dispatching-parallel-agents@sha256:74c7669a592b33b3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.c79e361, 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.
