What it does

Spk Practice Bulk Edit is an agent skill from spec-kitty/spec-kitty. Recognize bulk-edit missions and drive the occurrence-classification guardrail on the user's behalf before modifying many matching instances. Triggers: user says any variant of "rename X to Y", "change the terminology", "migrate all occurrences", "replace across the codebase", "the X feature is now the Y feature", "sed everywhere", or any request that touches the same identifier/path/key in many files. Also triggers on gate errors mentioning "changemode", "occurrencemap.yaml", "Bulk Edit Gate: BLOCKED", or "Bulk…

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/bulk-edit-workflow.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: Spec-Driven Development with organizational governance. Specs tell AI agents what to build; Charter governs how they build it. Git-native missions, enforceable workflows, and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Gate errors mentioning changemode
  • Occurrencemap.yaml
  • Bulk Edit Gate: BLOCKED
  • Bulk Edit Review: Diff Compliance

Example prompts

  • “rename X to Y”
  • “change the terminology”
  • “migrate all occurrences”
  • “/spk-practice-bulk-edit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Perform a manual pre-edit occurrence review before changing matches.
  2. Align kitty-specs//occurrence_map.yaml to the eight standard
  3. Treat runtime enforcement as a path-based review gate, not an AST-semantic
  4. Confirm edit policy when the blast radius is unclear.
  5. Execute the narrowest safe change and verify representative cases.
  6. When the gate blocks at implement or review time, fix the occurrence map

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d12146f. 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

Spk Practice Bulk Edit loads about 558 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 191 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~191
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~558
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

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.

description
Recognize bulk-edit missions and drive the occurrence-classification guardrail on the user's behalf before modifying many matching instances. Triggers: user says any variant of "rename X to Y", "change the terminology", "migrate all occurrences", "replace across the codebase", "the X feature is now the Y feature", "sed everywhere", or any request that touches the same identifier/path/key in many files. Also triggers on gate errors mentioning "change_mode", "occurrence_map.yaml", "Bulk Edit Gate: BLOCKED", or "Bulk Edit Review: Diff Compliance". Does NOT handle: line-level semantic refactors inside one file, adding a new feature that creates new identifiers without changing existing ones, or reviewing finished missions for fidelity.

spk-practice-bulk-edit

Use this skill when the user asks for a broad rename, replace, migration, classification, or other multi-occurrence edit. The same token carries different meaning depending on where it appears, so treating every occurrence the same is how silent breakage happens (DIRECTIVE_035).

The user will not say "bulk edit". Recognize the shape, set change_mode: bulk_edit in the mission's meta.json, and drive the classification workflow before any code changes.

Flow

  1. Perform a manual pre-edit occurrence review before changing matches.
  2. Align kitty-specs/<mission>/occurrence_map.yaml to the eight standard schema categories plus explicit exceptions and moves.
  3. Treat runtime enforcement as a path-based review gate, not an AST-semantic classifier.
  4. Confirm edit policy when the blast radius is unclear.
  5. Execute the narrowest safe change and verify representative cases.
  6. When the gate blocks at implement or review time, fix the occurrence map or the diff, never bypass the gate.
