Run a task iteratively over a user-specified duration by dispatching subagents. The orchestrator stays strictly linear and time-checked, but each iteration fans out MULTIPLE subagents in parallel over independent units (and those subagents may fan out further). Shared state — a compact progress digest and a growing environment cheatsheet — lives on disk and is passed to every subagent BY REFERENCE, killing the per-subagent rediscovery tax. Every subagent first reads an initialiser preamble that…

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'timeboxed-iterating' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'timeboxed-iterating' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named timeboxed-iterating already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/av/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8f70341629e3871b17c34b54aca27e02bf1d4b49' -- 'timeboxed-iterating' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'timeboxed-iterating' ~/.agents/skills/'timeboxed-iterating' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'timeboxed-iterating' ~/.claude/skills/'timeboxed-iterating' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
