Execute complex tasks using parallel subagents. Use for large tasks that benefit from concurrent execution. Automatically plans, decomposes, and orchestrates parallel work.
This skill invokes the parallel execution system for complex tasks that can benefit from concurrent subagent work.
$ARGUMENTS: Description of the complex task to executeWhen invoked with /parallel-executor <task description>, this skill:
parallel-executor agent to orchestrate the workparallel-tasks-plannertask-worker agentsverifier agentUse the Task tool to invoke the parallel-executor agent:
Task tool call:

Execute the following complex task using parallel decomposition:
Task: $ARGUMENTS
Follow your workflow:
1. Use parallel-tasks-planner to decompose the task
2. Validate the plan for file conflicts
3. Execute phases (parallel and sequential)
4. Verify results
5. Report summary
