worktree-parallel SKILL.md skillA

worktree-parallel from d-robotics/moss is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add d-robotics/moss/worktree-parallel@git:20260930.19b5ead

Pins git:20260930.19b5ead in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

How to run writable sub-agents in isolated git worktrees and merge their lease patches.

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

# Worktree-parallel writable sub-agents

1. In `fan_out_subagents`, give each implementation task `scope: "full"`, declared `writePaths`, and `worktree: true` (or set `MOSS_WORKTREE_SUBAGENTS=1` once and full-scope tasks default to isolated worktrees).
2. Each child then works in its own `git worktree` under `.moss/worktrees/` — concurrent writers cannot see or stomp each other.
3. On completion the child's changes are collected as a binary patch under `.moss/patches/<leaseId>.patch`; its summary ends with `[worktree lease=<id> patch=<digest> changed=<n>]`.
4. Merge leases back with `merge_subagent_patch` (leaseId + patchId from the child result). Merging uses `git apply --3way`, so changes in different regions of a file compose; a same-region collision returns `merge_conflict` with the conflicting paths — resolve manually, do not force.
5. Merge order matters when tasks touch the same files: merge one, verify, then the next.
6. Worktrees are cleaned up automatically after patch collection; the patch files remain for audit.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add d-robotics/moss/worktree-parallel@sha256:defaf7014d08a24e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.19b5ead, 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.
