# Parallel CLI

Use `parallel-cli` when the user explicitly wants Parallel, or when a terminal-native workflow would benefit from Parallel's vendor-specific stack for web search, extraction, deep research, enrichment, entity discovery, or monitoring.

This is an optional third-party workflow, not a Hermes core capability.

Important expectations:
- Parallel is a paid service with a free tier, not a fully free local tool.
- It overlaps with Hermes native `web_search` / `web_extract`, so do not prefer it by default for ordinary lookups.
- Prefer this skill when the user mentions Parallel specifically or needs capabilities like Parallel's enrichment, FindAll, or monitor workflows.

`parallel-cli` is designed for agents:
- JSON output via `--json`
- Non-interactive command execution
- Async long-running jobs with `--no-wait`, `status`, and `poll`
- Context chaining with `--previous-interaction-id`
- Search, extract, research, enrichment, entity discovery, and monitoring in one CLI

## When to use it

Prefer this skill when:
- The user explicitly mentions Parallel or `parallel-cli`
- The task needs richer workflows than a simple one-shot search/extract pass
- You need async deep research jobs that can be launched and polled later
- You need structured enrichment, FindAll entity discovery, or monitoring

Prefer Hermes native `web_search` / `web_extract` for quick one-off lookups when
