What it does

Doing A Simple Two Stage Fanout is an agent skill from ed3dai/ed3d-plugins. Use when analyzing a large corpus of text, code, or data that exceeds a single agent's effective context - orchestrates parallel Worker subagents, Critic review subagents, and a final Summarizer subagent with task tracking and failure recovery

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `compute_layout.py` and `diagram-templates.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents and Task management. The repository describes itself as: Ed's repo of Claude Code plugins, centered around a research-plan-implement workflow. Only a tiny bit cursed. If you're lucky.

When your agent uses it

  • Analyzing a large corpus of text
  • Data that exceeds a single agents effective context - orchestrates parallel Worker subagents
  • Critic review subagents
  • A final Summarizer subagent with task tracking and failure recovery

Example prompts

  • “/doing-a-simple-two-stage-fanout”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather Inputs
  2. Compute the Layout
  3. Set Up the Temp Directory
  4. Enter Plan Mode and Write the Orchestration Plan
  5. Create All Tasks
  6. Launch Workers
  7. Launch Critics
  8. Launch Summarizer

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0c90f4b. 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

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Doing A Simple Two Stage Fanout loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,388 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,388 words (~3,643 tokens).

“Divide a corpus across Worker subagents, review with Critic subagents, synthesize with a Summarizer. Every stage writes to files; every subagent gets its own task.”
