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

  1. List all steps / tool calls needed.
  2. 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.
  3. 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)
