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

The parallel fan-out primitive. Routed to by any skill or command that splits work across independent units and dispatches an agent per unit — subagent-driven-development, /sprint, parallel /review. It owns the dispatch/collect/funnel discipline: bound concurrency, isolate units, collect every result, dedupe overlap, and funnel through finding-triage then the read-only verdict-aggregator. Raw agent output is never consumed before the funnel runs; an agent that errors records its unit as…
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
Fan out, collect everything, funnel before consuming. Plumbing other skills dispatch through — it owns the parallel discipline, not domain logic.
## Pre-flight
The caller supplies the work. Confirm it, or STOP and surface the gap — never invent units or pick an agent on a hunch:
- **The unit list** — N discrete, independently-completable units of work, each with its scope and target paths.
- **The agent kind** — which agent kind to dispatch per unit (e.g. `backend-author`, `frontend-author`, `scout`, `security-reviewer` at `{{PLUGIN_ROOT}}/agents/<name>.md`). One kind per batch.
- **The completion contract** — what each agent must return: a structured result, its unit ID, and a pass/fail/error status. Self-reports are claims, not evidence (see Phase 4).
## Phase 1 — Partition · gate: BLOCK
Split the work into units that do not collide. A unit owns a distinct file or path set; two units in one batch MUST NOT mutate the same path.
- **Independent paths** — units touch disjoint files. Dispatch directly. This is the common, fast case.

How to install
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/dispatching-parallel-agents@sha256:3f6c663915cac896The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.6e85bce, 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.
