What it does

Ultrawork is an agent skill from zereight/gitlab-mcp. Parallel execution engine for high-throughput task completion. Activate when user says: ulw, ultrawork, parallel execution, run these in parallel.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: First gitlab mcp for you, building together. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Parallel execution
  • Run these in parallel

Example prompts

  • “/ultrawork”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify tasks by independence: parallel vs dependent
  2. Fire independent tasks simultaneously via @executor
  3. Run dependent tasks sequentially after prerequisites
  4. Background long operations (builds, installs, tests)
  5. Verify when all tasks complete (build passes, tests pass)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b4f0d9d. 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

Ultrawork loads about 369 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~369

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.

Ultrawork

Parallel execution engine that runs multiple agents simultaneously for independent tasks. Component mode -- provides parallelism and smart model routing but not persistence or verification loops.

When to Use

  • Multiple independent tasks can run simultaneously
  • Need to delegate work to multiple agents at once

When NOT to Use

  • Need guaranteed completion with verification → use /ralph (includes ultrawork)
  • Full autonomous pipeline → use /omg-autopilot (includes ralph which includes ultrawork)
  • Only one sequential task → delegate directly to @executor

Relationship

ralph (persistence wrapper)
 └── includes: ultrawork (this skill)

omg-autopilot (autonomous execution)
 └── includes: ralph
     └── includes: ultrawork (this skill)

Steps

  1. Classify tasks by independence: parallel vs dependent
  2. Fire independent tasks simultaneously via @executor
  3. Run dependent tasks sequentially after prerequisites
  4. Background long operations (builds, installs, tests)
  5. Verify when all tasks complete (build passes, tests pass)

Execution Policy

  • Fire ALL independent tasks simultaneously
  • Run builds/tests in background
  • Match task complexity to appropriate model routing
