What it does

Batchy is an agent skill from s2-streamstore/claude-batch-toolkit. Send non-urgent tasks to Claude's Batch API at 50% off. Use for code reviews, documentation, analysis, refactoring plans, or any work that can wait ~1hr. Trigger with "/batchy", "batch this", or "send to batch".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Code review and Refactoring. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Send non-urgent work to the Anthropic Batch API at 50% cost — directly from Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • Refactoring plans
  • Any work that can wait ~1hr

Example prompts

  • “/batchy”
  • “batch this”
  • “send to batch”
  • “/batchy”

Requirements

  • A credential in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Verifies the MCP server is connected and working
  2. Shows you the current state of all jobs (avoids duplicate submissions)
  3. Reveals any completed jobs the user might want to see first

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit feb9ff9. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Batchy loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 409 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 409 words (~1,901 tokens).
