DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOW / Superpowers
Dispatching Parallel Agents
Splits independent investigations into bounded agent assignments and checks their integration afterward.
“Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies”
01 / THE REASONING
Why this made the selection.
- Requires independence and explicit file or subsystem scope before work is parallelized.
- Supplies a focused task-brief pattern and an integration step that reviews conflicts and reruns the relevant suite.
02 / THE REVIEW RECORD
What we actually inspected.
Source review has boundaries.
A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.
Material inspected
- Full SKILL.md
- LICENSE
Our findings
- The source names cases where parallel work is unsuitable and requires review of returned changes.
Not established by this review
- No end-to-end agent session, effectiveness benchmark or target-project security assessment was run.
- No upstream installer, helper script or generated workload was executed.
The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.

DOCUMENTED COMMAND
npx skills add https://github.com/obra/superpowers/tree/8ca22dba9a94f28898bbce59f2537ff4d87c747d/skills/dispatching-parallel-agents --skill dispatching-parallel-agentsCopying does not execute this command. It may retrieve a newer version than the reviewed source.
- Inspect the pinned skill and its supporting files before installation.
- Run the command from the intended project; use the installer prompts to select the agent and scope.
- Keep the complete skill directory and its licence. Install any task-specific tools separately and test on a small authorized example.
Before you start
- Node.js and npm for the Skills CLI
- An Agent Skills compatible coding assistant
- A client with an available subagent mechanism
