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.
Defines the contract for fan-out parallel workers: isolation boundaries, result schema, and merge conflict resolution rules. Use when running parallel sub-agents on independent work units.Key capabilities
- →Define isolation boundaries for parallel workers
- →Specify a standard result schema for workers
- →Outline merge conflict resolution rules
- →Check for overlapping file modifications during merge
- →Flag unresolvable conflicts for human review
How it works
This skill defines a contract for parallel workers, enforcing file scope isolation and a standard result schema. A merge agent then resolves conflicts by checking for overlaps and preferring narrower scopes.
Inputs & outputs
When to use parallel-contract
- →Define worker task scope
- →Merge parallel worker results
- →Resolve task conflicts
About this skill
:shield: Isolation Rules
Each worker MUST:
- Only modify files within its assigned scope
- Not read or modify files in another worker's scope
- Return results in the standard schema
:page_facing_up: Result Schema
Workers return:
scope: string — the module or file pathstatus:done|partial|failedfiles_changed: list of pathsissues: list of stringsoutput: free-form data
:twisted_rightwards_arrows: Merge Rules
The merge agent resolves conflicts by:
- Checking for overlapping file modifications
- Preferring the worker with narrower scope
- Flagging unresolvable conflicts for human review
When not to use it
- →The task does not involve parallel sub-agents
- →The work units are not independent
- →The task is about database schema evolution without API surface impact
Limitations
- →Each worker MUST only modify files within its assigned scope
- →Each worker MUST NOT read or modify files in another worker's scope
- →Each worker MUST return results in the standard schema
How it compares
This approach standardizes worker isolation and result merging, providing a structured way to manage parallel task outcomes and conflicts, which differs from ad-hoc merging strategies.
