+# ParaGUIBench Task Assets (Parallel_benchmark)
+
+Guest-visible input assets and evaluator-side answer files for
+**ParaGUIBench** — a 233-task benchmark for studying whether multiple GUI
+agents can coordinate decomposable workloads across isolated desktop
+instances and reduce the critical path without weakening task-level
+evaluation ("Beyond Sequential Interaction: Benchmarking Parallel Execution
+and Coordination for GUI Agents").
+
+## What lives in this repository
+
+| Path | Content |
+|---|---|
+| `benchmark_dataset/<task-uid>/` | Guest-visible per-task input files (documents, spreadsheets, presentations, media, archives) |
+| `answer_files/<task-uid>/` | Evaluator-side expected outputs (never shown to the agent) |
+
+The 233 canonical task definitions, evaluation code, orchestration
+framework, and per-file integrity manifests live in the code repository:
+**<https://github.com/pkgunboat/ParaGUIBench>**. File-level integrity for
+the generator-managed input assets (49 manifests, 193 files) and the
+pinned gold entries is enforced by those manifests — repository revision,
+size, and SHA-256, re-verified on every fetch; remaining `answer_files/`
+directories are fetched at pinned task uids at runtime.
