Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Analyzes task dependencies and groups independent steps into parallel batches. Use when executing multi-step plans or performing research across multiple sources.Key capabilities
- →List all steps or tool calls needed for a task
- →Identify dependencies between task steps
- →Group independent steps into parallel batches
- →Execute multiple web searches for different topics concurrently
- →Perform multiple file reads on different files simultaneously
How it works
This skill analyzes task dependencies by checking if one step's output is required by another, then groups independent steps into batches for parallel execution. It identifies sequential dependencies.
Inputs & outputs
When to use compound-v-parallel
- →Perform simultaneous web searches
- →Parallel file processing
- →Batch execution of independent commands
- →Optimize multi-step workflow speed
About this skill
Parallel Execution Skill
When to use this skill
- executing a multi-step plan with independent steps
- researching multiple topics or URLs simultaneously
- creating multiple independent files
- running multiple independent commands
Dependency analysis
- List all steps / tool calls needed.
- For each pair, check: does step B depend on output of step A?
- Same file? → sequential.
- B reads A's output? → sequential.
- No overlap? → parallel.
- Group independent steps into batches.
Examples of parallelizable work
- Multiple web searches for different topics
- Multiple file reads on different files
- Multiple file writes for unrelated files
- Multiple commands that don't depend on each other
When NOT to parallelize
- Steps that modify the same file
- Steps where output of one feeds into another
- Sequential build/test chains (build → test → deploy)
When not to use it
- →When steps modify the same file
- →When the output of one step feeds into another
- →When executing sequential build/test chains
Limitations
- →Steps that modify the same file are not parallelized
- →Steps where output of one feeds into another are not parallelized
- →Sequential build/test chains are not parallelized
How it compares
This skill automates the identification and batching of independent tasks for parallel execution, which is more efficient than manually executing each step sequentially.
