At a glance

Plan and execute parallel, repeatable migrations across code, docs, research artifacts, ops configs, or mixed task sets.

  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Routing, Trigger Examples and Parameters, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Batch is an agent skill from CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS. Plan and execute parallel, repeatable migrations across code, docs, research artifacts, ops configs, or mixed task sets.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/full-guidance.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Local-first personal agentic OS and everything app for coding, knowledge work, web design, automations, and artifacts. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/batch”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3691bae. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Batch loads about 553 tokens when it runs, and up to ~964 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~553
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~964

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Batch

Purpose

Plan and execute repeatable work across many independent targets in parallel.

Routing

  • Use when: Use when the user asks to run parallelizable migrations or repeated transformations across many independent targets in any domain.
  • Do not use when: Do not use for single-target quality polishing (use simplify) or when the request is purely conceptual with no execution intent.
  • Outputs: A parallel execution plan, per-target outcomes, validations, and explicit next actions.
  • Success criteria: Work is partitioned, executed with bounded parallelism, validated per target, and summarized with clear blockers/safety boundaries.

Trigger Examples

Positive
  • Use /batch migrate src/ from Solid to React.
  • Run /batch to update all policy docs to the new template.
  • Batch-convert these reports and validate each output.
  • Apply this config migration across all environments in parallel.
Negative
  • Clean up this one function for readability.
  • Improve this single memo's tone and clarity.
  • Discuss migration options without executing any changes.
  • Use simplify for one-off quality tuning instead of batch.

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
objectivestringYesBatch objective to execute across multiple targets
domainselectNoTask domain
parallelnumberNoMaximum parallel workers (1-8)
externalselectNoPolicy for external side effects

Guidance

  • Read references/full-guidance.md for partitioning, safety, and output structure.
  • Keep legacy queue/review skills active; use this skill for broad migration-style work.

Runtime Prompt

  • Runtime prompt is defined in ../batch.json.

Can I use Batch in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS --skill batch -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/batch, .gemini/skills/batch, .github/skills/batch and .opencode/skills/batch in your project.

What does Batch need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Batch is instructions for the agent only.

Does Batch access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Batch safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Batch use?

Batch is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Batch use?

About 553 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 411 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
