At a glance

Break a large request into a tracked batch of smaller tasks.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Batch is an agent skill from terrense/LilBot-agent. Break a large request into a tracked batch of smaller tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 200 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Try to make a personal assistant based on agent tech and harness engineering stuff.

Example prompts

  • “/batch”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): update_plan, checklist_write, checklist_update, checklist_add, task_create, task_list, agent_open, agent_eval, agent_close

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 32be16c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • update_plan
    • checklist_write
    • checklist_update
    • checklist_add
    • task_create
    • task_list
    • agent_open
    • agent_eval
    • agent_close

    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 203 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 66 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~203

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 66 words (~203 tokens).
