What it does

Orchestrate Batch Refactor is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Plan and execute large refactors with dependency-aware work packets and parallel analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/agent-prompt-templates.md` and `references/work-packet-template.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Refactoring

Example prompts

  • “/orchestrate-batch-refactor”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define scope and success criteria.
  2. Run parallel analysis first.
  3. Build one dependency-aware plan.
  4. Execute with worker agents.
  5. Integrate and verify.
  6. Report and close.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e53ce2. 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

Orchestrate Batch Refactor loads about 980 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 484 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~980
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

Orchestrate Batch Refactor

Overview

Use this skill to run high-throughput refactors safely. Analyze scope in parallel, synthesize a single plan, then execute independent work packets with sub-agents.

When to Use

  • When a refactor spans many files or subsystems and needs clear work partitioning.
  • When you need dependency-aware planning before parallel implementation.

Inputs

  • Repo path and target scope (paths, modules, or feature area)
  • Goal type: refactor, rewrite, or hybrid
  • Constraints: behavior parity, API stability, deadlines, test requirements

When to Use Parallelization

  • Use this skill for medium/large scope touching many files or subsystems.
  • Skip multi-agent execution for tiny edits or highly coupled single-file work.

Core Workflow

  1. Define scope and success criteria.
    • List target paths/modules and non-goals.
    • State behavior constraints (for example: preserve external behavior).
  2. Run parallel analysis first.
    • Split target scope into analysis lanes.
    • Spawn explorer sub-agents in parallel to analyze each lane.
    • Ask each agent for: intent map, coupling risks, candidate work packets, required validations.
  3. Build one dependency-aware plan.
    • Merge explorer output into a single work graph.
    • Create work packets with clear file ownership and validation commands.
    • Sequence packets by dependency level; run only independent packets in parallel.
  4. Execute with worker agents.
    • Spawn one worker per independent packet.
    • Assign explicit ownership (files/responsibility).
    • Instruct every worker that they are not alone in the codebase and must ignore unrelated edits.
  5. Integrate and verify.
    • Review packet outputs, resolve overlaps, and run validation gates.
    • Run targeted tests per packet, then broader suite for integrated scope.
  6. Report and close.
    • Summarize packet outcomes, key refactors, conflicts resolved, and residual risks.

Work Packet Rules

  • One owner per file per execution wave.
  • No parallel edits on overlapping file sets.
  • Keep packet goals narrow and measurable.
  • Include explicit done criteria and required checks.
  • Prefer behavior-preserving refactors unless user explicitly requests behavior change.

Planning Contract

Every packet must include:

  1. Packet ID and objective.
  2. Owned files.
  3. Dependencies (none or packet IDs).
  4. Risks and invariants to preserve.
  5. Required checks.
  6. Integration notes for main thread.

Use references/work-packet-template.md for the exact shape.

Agent Prompting Contract

  • Use the prompt templates in references/agent-prompt-templates.md.
  • Explorer prompts focus on analysis and decomposition.
  • Worker prompts focus on implementation and validation with strict ownership boundaries.

Safety Guardrails

  • Do not start worker execution before plan synthesis is complete.
  • Do not parallelize across unresolved dependencies.
  • Do not claim completion if any required packet check fails.
  • Stop and re-plan when packet boundaries cause repeated merge conflicts.

Validation Strategy

Run in this order:

  1. Packet-level checks (fast and scoped).
  2. Cross-packet integration checks.
  3. Full project safety checks when scope is broad.

Prefer fast feedback loops, but never skip required behavior checks.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
