## What it 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.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill ai-research/parallel-agents
```

2. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill parallel-agents -a claude-code
```

3. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/parallel-agents/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/parallel-agents/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/parallel-agents/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/parallel-agents/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install davila7/claude-code-templates parallel-agents
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/parallel-agents/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates --path cli-tool/components/skills/ai-research/parallel-agents
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/parallel-agents/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- 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
- 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.
