What it does

Batch Claude Runner is an agent skill from imbue-ai/sculptor. Run Claude programmatically against collections of files in the codebase. Use for batch analysis: scrubbing sensitive data, auditing style violations, security reviews.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/batch_claude_runner.py`).

It sits in Security, covering Security review. The repository describes itself as: Build product with grounded, parallel coding agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Batch analysis: scrubbing sensitive data
  • Auditing style violations
  • Security reviews

Example prompts

  • “/batch-claude-runner”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f847102. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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 Claude Runner loads about 308 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 87 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~308

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Batch Claude Runner

Runs Claude against batches of files, collecting structured findings into a summary report.

Quick Start

bash
# Basic usage
python .claude/skills/batch-claude-runner/scripts/batch_claude_runner.py \
  --pattern "**/*.py" \
  --prompt "Check for hardcoded credentials or API keys."

# See all options
python .claude/skills/batch-claude-runner/scripts/batch_claude_runner.py --help

Key Options

  • --pattern / -p: Glob pattern for files (required, repeatable)
  • --exclude / -e: Exclude pattern (repeatable)
  • --prompt: Analysis prompt
  • --batch-size / -b: Files per batch (default: 10)
  • --max-batches / -m: Limit batches (for testing)
  • --dry-run: Preview files without running
  • --output json: Machine-readable output

Notes

  • Claude reads files via its Read tool and can make edits if prompted
  • Structured JSON output is enforced automatically via --json-schema
  • Use --dry-run first to verify file selection
