Parallel Agents

Hand several independent tasks to agents that work at the same time.

Part of Superpowers by @obra

Parallel Agents teaches Claude to spot when you have two or more independent jobs — ones with no shared state or order between them — and run them side by side instead of one after another. Less waiting, more done at once.

What it does

  • Recognizes when tasks are truly independent and safe to run in parallel.
  • Runs them at the same time instead of one after another.
  • Speeds up big jobs that would otherwise crawl step by step.

What's in the download

  • SKILL.md — the parallel-dispatch workflow, ready to install.

How to install (2 minutes)

  1. 1Download the .zip and unzip it — you’ll get a folder called dispatching-parallel-agents.
  2. 2In the Claude app: open Settings → Capabilities → Skills, choose Add / Upload, and select the folder (or the .zip).
  3. 3In Claude Code: drop the folder into your project’s .claude/skills/ directory, then type /skills to confirm it loaded.
  4. 4That’s it — the skill activates on its own when it fits what you’re doing.
