What are 'waves' in the context of parallel execution?

Waves are execution stages that respect dependencies. Agents in a subsequent wave will only start their tasks once all agents in the preceding wave have successfully finished.

Can I use this skill programmatically?

Yes, while the cpo CLI is standard for most users, the skill also supports programmatic orchestration via the Claude Code SDK for integration into custom CI/CD workflows.

What is the cpo tool used for in this skill?

The cpo (Claude Parallel Orchestrator) is a CLI tool that handles the complexity of parallel execution, including git worktree management, task validation, and wave coordination.

How does the skill prevent agents from overwriting each other's work?

It uses git worktrees to create separate, isolated workspaces for every task, allowing agents to work on the same repository in parallel without file conflicts.

How do I monitor the progress of parallel tasks?

You can use the 'cpo status' command in a separate terminal to view the real-time progress, status, and completion markers of all active agents.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Executes multiple Claude Code agents simultaneously using wave-based orchestration and automated environment isolation.

The Parallel Execution skill empowers developers to scale their AI-driven development by running multiple Claude Code agents in parallel via the cpo (Claude Parallel Orchestrator) CLI. It automates complex workflows including git worktree creation for isolated task execution, dependency management through logical 'waves,' and real-time progress monitoring. This skill is indispensable for large-scale code migrations, multi-component feature implementations, and complex refactoring tasks where sequential execution would be inefficient, ensuring that each agent operates in a safe, isolated workspace without conflicting with others.

Características Principales

01Automatic git worktree creation for isolated, conflict-free agent workspaces

02Automated manifest validation to catch configuration errors before execution starts

03Comprehensive logging and report generation for auditing and debugging

04Real-time execution monitoring and status reporting via the cpo CLI

052 GitHub stars

06Wave-based dependency management to ensure tasks execute in the correct logical order

Casos de Uso

01Accelerating complex migrations by running multiple service updates simultaneously in CI/CD pipelines

02Implementing multi-module systems where independent tasks can be distributed across parallel agents

03Performing large-scale repository refactors by splitting work into isolated, concurrent chunks
