parallel-agents · davila7 — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Orchestrates specialized sub-agents inside Claude Code for multi-perspective code reviews and cross-domain feature analysis.
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill ai-research/parallel-agentsWhat parallel-agents does
This skill coordinates dedicated sub-agents directly within Claude Code sessions. Its setup permits Read, Glob, and Grep, focusing execution strictly on code discovery and inspection without direct file modifications. The workflow links 17 domain roles, including backend-specialist and security-auditor, alongside built-in helpers such as Explore and Plan.
Claude manages the execution flow and passes findings between consecutive roles before assembling a single synthesis table. Ongoing tasks can also be paused and resumed using their agent identifier. Triggering a multi-agent chain for a single-file tweak adds unnecessary overhead when a basic prompt suffices.
What it helps with
- orchestrate multi-perspective security audits across code and configuration
- pass backend architectural findings directly to a test specialist
- synthesize cross-domain analysis into a prioritized action checklist
- resume an existing sub-agent session using its identifier
Example prompts for the agent
- First run explorer-agent to inspect the project layout, then have backend-specialist audit our endpoints.
- Use security-auditor to examine authentication, then summarize high-priority risks.
- Resume agent agent-42 and continue with migration checks.
