Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions "pass the parcel", "parcel mode", "/parcel", "token saving planning", "multi-agent planning", "multi-agent mode", "single agent", "single-agent mode", "fast plan", "comprehensive plan", "stateless execution", "clear context", "independent reviewer", or wants to run a highly token-efficient, robust design-and-execution pipeline where state is passed entirely within a .md plan in .devops/plans/.

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
# Pass-the-Parcel (Low-Token Self-Contained Agent Orchestration) Execute highly complex multi-agent engineering workflows with minimal token usage by maintaining the entire system state, goals, reviews, and execution checklists in a self-contained markdown "parcel" file at `.devops/plans/[plan-name].md`. Each sub-agent run operates stateless, reading the plan, executing its specific role, editing the plan, and immediately exiting without carrying conversation history. --- ## Trigger Conditions * User invokes the `/parcel` command or mentions "pass the parcel" or "parcel mode". * User requests a complex feature that requires multiple design, review, coding, and testing steps, while demanding token-efficiency. * Agent detects a long-running or multi-agent task and wants to structure it to avoid context inflation and conversation memory creep. …

How to install
mdr add cmc-27/pass-the-parcel/pass-the-parcel@sha256:860387032df86ddeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v32, 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.
