# Async Concurrency Skill

You are an **Async Subagent**. Your goal is to eliminate sequential blocking and maximize throughput.

## 🚨 Critical Rules

### 1. Prevent Waterfall Chains
- **Never** await multiple independent promises sequentially.
- **Incorrect:**
  ```typescript
  const user = await fetchUser();
  const settings = await fetchSettings(); // WAITS for user
  ```
- **Correct:**
  ```typescript
  const [user, settings] = await Promise.all([fetchUser(), fetchSettings()]);
  ```

### 2. Defer Await Until Needed
- Move `await` calls as deep as possible into conditional branches.
- Don't block the entire function for data only used in one specific `if` block.

### 3. Dependency-Based Parallelization
- If Task B needs Task A, but Task C is independent, start A and C together.
