dispatching-parallel-agents SKILL.md skillA

dispatching-parallel-agents from brunob54/superpowers-orchestrator is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add brunob54/superpowers-orchestrator/dispatching-parallel-agents@git:20260815.dcd9fd0

Pins git:20260815.dcd9fd0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when 2+ tasks are independent and can run concurrently without file or state conflicts or sequential dependencies. Triggers on: "run these in parallel", "do these at the same time", plans with independent tasks, when subagent-driven-development identifies parallelizable work.

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

Use parallel subagents only for truly independent work.

## Decision Check

Use parallel dispatch when all are true:
- Problems have separate root causes.
- Tasks do not edit the same files.
- Tasks do not require shared intermediate state.

If any condition fails, run sequentially.

**Do not use when:**
- Failures are related — fixing one might fix others.
- The task is exploratory — you don't know what's broken yet.
- Agents would edit the same files or shared resources.
- Understanding the problem requires seeing the full system state.
- The task is content relay — fetching raw content (file contents, web pages, API responses) to bring back to the parent session. Agent results are compressed; raw content will be lost. Fetch it directly instead with Read (local files) or `curl` (URLs).

## Procedure

1. Split work into independent domains.
2. Write one focused prompt per domain.
3. Dispatch all agents in a **single message** with multiple parallel Agent tool calls. Do not dispatch sequentially across multiple messages — staggered dispatch delays start times, burns cache TTL, and undermines the parallelism.
4. Collect summaries and changed files.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add brunob54/superpowers-orchestrator/dispatching-parallel-agents@sha256:439b8eb05268a2dc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260815.dcd9fd0, 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.
