Fan Out Work

FeaturedCategory: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
type:audittype:review
Cover a large work-list in parallel without losing correctness or honesty — scout the items inline, then run each through its stages concurrently (map, optionally reduce) via the Workflow tool, with concurrency caps, per-item isolation where items mutate files, and an explicit account of anything dropped. Use when the task is "do the same thing to N independent things" — audit every module, migrate every call site, write tests for every gap, review every changed file — and N is big enough that serial is wasteful. It keeps the coordinator in control of the decision to continue while the per-item work runs in agents; it never silently truncates (a top-N/sampling cap is logged), and it aggregates results faithfully (a failed item becomes a reported null, not a hidden success). Composes with converge-loop (per-item loops) and adversarial-verify (gate each item's result).

From the source SKILL.md

<EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT> Parallelism multiplies throughput AND the ways to lie about coverage. Non-negotiable: 1. NEVER silently truncate. If you cap the work (top-N, sampling, no-retry, a concurrency limit that drops overflow), LOG exactly what was covered and what was skipped. A run that quietly did 20 of 200 items and reported success is the worst failure mode here — it reads as "all done" when it isn't. 2. A failed item is a REPORTED failure, not a hidden one. An agent that dies/returns null becomes a tracked null in the results and appears in the report — never dropped so the summary looks…

What this skill does

Fan Out Work is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/fan-out-work/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the task is "do the same thing to N independent things" — audit every module, migrate every call site, write tests for every gap, review every changed file — and N is big enough that serial is wasteful. It keeps the coordinator in control of the decision to continue while the per-item work runs in agents; it never silently truncates (a top-N/sampling cap is logged), and it aggregates results faithfully (a failed item becomes a reported null, not a hidden success).

Who uses this skill

The Fan Out Work Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 157,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
