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:

  const user = await fetchUser();
  const settings = await fetchSettings(); // WAITS for user
  

• Correct:

  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.
