What it does
Parallel Exploration is an agent skill from tctinh/agent-hive. Use when you need parallel, read-only exploration with the agent tool (Scout fan-out)
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
When your agent uses it
- You need parallel
- Read-only exploration with the agent tool (Scout fan-out)
Example prompts
- “/parallel-exploration”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Decompose Into Independent Questions
- Invoke Scout Agents in Parallel
- Continue Working (Optional)
- Collect Results
- Synthesize Findings
- Cleanup (If Needed)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b3f11c0. 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
Parallel Exploration loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 780 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 780 words (~1,796 tokens).
“When you need to answer "where/how does X work?" across multiple domains (codebase, tests, docs, OSS), investigating sequentially wastes time. Each investigation is independent and can happen in parallel.”
