Returns JSON status payload for a Parallel research task identified by run ID.

About

This skill checks the execution status of a research task within the Parallel platform by querying its run ID. Developers invoke it during async research workflows to track progress without blocking execution. It wraps the `parallel-cli research status` command with JSON output, enabling agent-driven polling and status monitoring in CI/CD pipelines or autonomous agent loops.

  • Queries research task status by run ID via Parallel CLI
  • Returns JSON-formatted output for programmatic parsing
  • Integrates with agent orchestration for async task tracking
  • Requires Parallel CLI; auto-suggests setup if missing
  • Supports status polling in CI/CD and automation workflows

What it does

Monitor the status of a running research task using its run ID.

Who is it for?

Agents and scripts that poll research task progress; CI/CD pipelines tracking async jobs; autonomous workflows with dependencies.

Skip if: Synchronous blocking workflows; non-Parallel research platforms; tasks without run IDs.

When should I use this skill?

A research task is queued and you need to track its progress, completion, or failure state.

What you get

Enables automated status checks for research tasks, unblocking dependent workflows and reducing manual monitoring burden.

  • JSON status object for the research task

By the numbers

  • Single run ID argument required

Check Research Status

Run ID: $ARGUMENTS

parallel-cli research status "$ARGUMENTS" --json

If CLI not found, tell user to run /parallel:parallel-cli-setup.

How it compares

Use status for a single run_id poll; use broader Parallel skills when starting or configuring research rather than checking progress.

FAQ

What do I need to pass to this skill?

A run ID from a Parallel research task (e.g., from a prior `parallel research create` call).

What happens if the Parallel CLI is not installed?

The skill prompts you to run `/parallel:parallel-cli-setup` to install or initialize the CLI.

Is Status safe to install?

skills.sh reports 3 of 3 security scanners passed. Review the Security Audits panel on this page before installing in production.
