What it does

Dispatching Parallel Agents is an agent skill from 6BNBN/FlowPilot. Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents. The repository describes itself as: 一句需求,自动拆任务、并行多代理写码、断点恢复、验证收尾。FlowPilot 让 Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / snow-cli 进入真正的自动开发流程。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state
  • Sequential dependencies

Example prompts

  • “/dispatching-parallel-agents”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the independent domains.
  2. Give each agent a narrow, self-contained prompt.
  3. Dispatch them in parallel.
  4. Review the results and integrate carefully.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 57b1d49. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dispatching Parallel Agents loads about 301 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~301

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Dispatching Parallel Agents

Overview

When you have multiple unrelated failures or investigations, handle them in parallel instead of forcing one agent to juggle everything.

Core principle: one agent per independent problem domain.

When to Use

  • Multiple failures with different root causes
  • Separate subsystems or files
  • No shared write set
  • No sequential dependency between the tasks

The Pattern

  1. Identify the independent domains.
  2. Give each agent a narrow, self-contained prompt.
  3. Dispatch them in parallel.
  4. Review the results and integrate carefully.

Codex CLI Example

ext spawn_agent(role=explorer, task="Investigate agent-tool-abort.test.ts failures") spawn_agent(role=explorer, task="Investigate batch completion behavior failures") spawn_agent(role=explorer, task="Investigate tool approval race conditions")

Common Mistakes

  • One prompt that covers unrelated problems
  • Missing context or constraints
  • Parallel work on overlapping files
  • No integration pass after the agents return
