How does the skill handle task dependencies?

The orchestrator parses the 'depends_on' metadata in your markdown plan to ensure tasks are only launched once their prerequisites are marked as complete.

Can I run specific tasks instead of the whole plan?

Yes, you can specify task IDs (such as T1, T2) after the filename to run only a specific subset of the plan.

How do I trigger the parallel execution?

You can trigger this skill using the /parallel-task command followed by the path to your markdown plan file (e.g., /parallel-task plan.md).

Does this skill automatically commit code changes?

Yes, subagents are instructed to stage and commit their specific work locally after completing a task, though they are restricted from pushing to remote repositories.

Productivity & Workflow

Coordinates and executes complex development plans by delegating tasks to multiple subagents in parallel waves based on dependencies.

The Parallel Task skill transforms Claude into a sophisticated project orchestrator capable of managing multi-step development plans with high efficiency. By parsing markdown-based plan files, the skill identifies task dependencies and launches subagents to handle unblocked tasks simultaneously in waves. It automates the entire lifecycle of a task—from context injection and implementation to validation and logging—ensuring that large-scale refactors or feature builds are completed systematically while maintaining a clear audit trail in the plan documentation.
