Parallel
Run the given task in a background sub-agent so you can continue working on other things.
Workflow
1. Parse input
The user's input is:
$ARGUMENTS
Determine whether it is a skill invocation or a plain text task.
2. Detect skill invocations
If the input starts with / (e.g., /promptify, /review-pr, /pr-comments-address TICKET-123), it is a skill invocation:
- Extract the skill name (the word after
/) and any remaining text as the skill arguments. - In the Agent tool prompt, instruct the sub-agent to use the Skill tool with the extracted skill name and arguments. For example, if the input is
/cc fix auth bug, tell the agent: "Use the Skill tool with skill 'cc' and args 'fix auth bug'."
3. Build plain text tasks
If the input does NOT start with /, pass it directly as the Agent tool prompt.
4. Execute
Use the Agent tool with run_in_background: true. Do NOT block on the agent's result. Continue responding to the user immediately after launching it. When the agent completes, report the result.
Examples
Positive Trigger
User: "/parallel /promptify audit all skills against our findings doc."
Expected behavior: Launch a background agent that invokes the promptify skill with args "audit all skills against our findings doc."
Non-Trigger
User: "Fix the bug in the checkout flow."
Expected behavior: Do not use parallel; execute the task directly in the foreground.
Troubleshooting
Agent Does Not Start
- Error: The background agent fails to launch.
- Cause: Missing or malformed Agent tool parameters.
- Solution: Ensure
run_in_background: trueis set and the prompt is a non-empty string.
Skill Not Found in Sub-Agent
- Error: The sub-agent reports the skill does not exist.
- Cause: The skill name extracted from the
/prefix does not match any available skill. - Solution: Verify the skill name matches an installed skill. Check available skills with
/help.
