Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/jssblck/agents --skill parallel-agents- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads parallel-agents automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Parallel agents
Keep independently owned work from colliding in shared files. Apply structural changes when concurrent work or observed conflict history justifies them.
- Give independent behavior its own file when that creates a useful ownership boundary. Keep edits to shared registries small. Do not split a cohesive module merely to achieve a one-line registration.
- Shape shared lists for merging: one item per line, stable insertion order, and no unrelated reformatting. Regenerate generated files and lockfiles.
- Investigate repeated conflict hotspots before splitting them. Keep structural moves separate from behavior changes when both are requested.
- Keep agent docs concise: working agreements, non-obvious constraints, and useful setup/check entry points. Keep module detail near its owner.
