At a glance

Delegate fat file reads to the project's pmread worker. An agent skill from VKirill/claude-lane-stack.

  • A Read/cat/head/tail/sed of a file over pmread.minlines was blocked
  • Calls python
  • You must map a large file without ingesting it

What it does

Bulk Reader is an agent skill from VKirill/claude-lane-stack. Delegate fat file reads to the project's pmread worker. Use when a Read/cat/head/tail/sed of a file over pmread.minlines was blocked, or you must map a large file without ingesting it.

Its SKILL.md is about 220 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: Multi-agent AI coding factory for one person — Claude Code PM + Codex/Qwen/Grok/Kimi/AGY writers, durable conveyor, auto-merge to main. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A Read/cat/head/tail/sed of a file over pmread.minlines was blocked
  • You must map a large file without ingesting it

Example prompts

  • “/bulk-reader”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad5d501. 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:

    • 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

Bulk Reader loads about 218 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~218

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.

bulk-reader

Do not Read, cat, head, tail, or sed the file. The hook only redirects — you run the worker:

bash
export PATH="$HOME/.agents/bin:$PATH"
pm_read --path FILE --question "<what you need from this file>"

Stdout is PM_READ_BRIEF. Keep that map. Ask again with a new --question if needed — the worker reads the file, you do not.

Edit: Read with offset+limit on a hotspot from the brief. Never paste the file body into chat.

NEVER

  • Retry the blocked Read with cat / sed -n / head / python -c open(...).
  • Dump the source into the user chat because they said "read the whole file".
