parallel
NewParallel CLI integration for web search, URL extraction, deep research, bulk data enrichment, entity discovery (FindAll), and continuous web monitoring â powered by Parallel's AI-native web infrastructure.
Summary
The Parallel skill integrates web search, URL content extraction, deep research, bulk data enrichment, entity discovery (FindAll), and continuous web monitoring directly into Claude Code.
- It leverages Parallel's AI-native web infrastructure to give coding agents real-time access to web data without leaving the terminal.
Overview
Agent Skills for Parallel — web search, content extraction, deep research, and data enrichment for AI coding agents.
Prerequisites
The parallel-cli tool (installed + authenticated, with a non-zero balance) is required to run the skills. The `parallel-cli-setup` skill walks an agent through install, auth, balance, and skills install end-to-end — install the plugin/skills below, then run /parallel:parallel-cli-setup from your agent.
Installation
Agent Skills
Use parallel-cli to install skills into Cursor, Cline, GitHub Copilot, and other compatible agents.
# Install all Parallel skills
parallel-cli skills installClaude Code
Available as a Claude Code Plugin Marketplace.
/plugin marketplace add parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills
/plugin install parallel
# restart Claude Code before continuing!
# this will install/update CLI and authenticate if not done already

Install skills using the built-in skill installer (run inside Codex):
$skill-installer parallel-web/parallel-agent-skillsThen run the setup skill to install/auth the CLI:
/parallel:parallel-cli-setupCDN and discovery
