Description
Process multiple items with progress tracking, checkpointing, and failure recovery.
README (SKILL.md)
Before Starting
- Dry run: Test with 2-3 items first
- Count: "Processing 47 items, ~2 min estimated"
- Confirm destructive ops: "This will delete 200 files. Proceed?"
During Processing
- Progress every 10 items: "23/47 complete (49%)"
- Checkpoint every 10-50 items: Save state to resume if interrupted
- On error: Log it, continue with rest (don't abort entire batch)
After Completion
Always report:
✅ 44 succeeded
❌ 3 failed (saved to failed.json for retry)
Error Handling
| Error | Action |
|---|---|
| Timeout, rate limit | Retry 3x with backoff (1s, 2s, 4s) |
| Bad format, missing data | Skip, log, continue |
| Auth failed, disk full | Abort entire batch |
Check strategies.md for parallel vs sequential decision matrix.
Check errors.md for retry logic and rollback patterns.

Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent and focused on batch processing, but before using it: run the recommended dry run on a small sample; review any destructive steps carefully (it explicitly prompts for confirmation for deletes); ensure backups exist for any data the batch will modify; verify that saving checkpoints/failures to /tmp is acceptable in your environment; and if you enable delegation to sub-agents, confirm you trust the agent's autonomy and the mechanism it will use (the docs mention delegation but don't specify transport or endpoints).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: batch
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle describes a robust batch processing mechanism with features like progress tracking, checkpointing, error handling with retries, partial failure recovery, and rollback for destructive operations. All instructions to the AI agent in SKILL.md, errors.md, and strategies.md are operational and align with the stated purpose of processing multiple items. While the agent is instructed to perform file operations (e.g., saving temporary files, potentially deleting/modifying files with confirmation and rollback) and API calls, these are necessary capabilities for its function. There is no evidence of intentional malicious behavior such as data exfiltration, unauthorized remote control, persistence, or prompt injection designed to subvert the agent's core purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included SKILL.md, errors.md, and strategies.md: all focus on batch processing, progress reporting, checkpointing, retries, and rollback. There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or install steps requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions stay within batch-processing concerns (dry runs, progress messages, checkpointing, retry policies, saving failed items to local files). The files reference local paths (/tmp/*), retry/backoff logic, and delegation to sub-agents in a generic way; they do not instruct reading unrelated system credentials or contacting external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files to execute; this is an instruction-only skill, which means nothing new is written to disk or downloaded during install.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The instructions reference only local artifacts (checkpoints, backups, /tmp files), which is proportionate to the described tasks.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no claims to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. The skill does instruct writing checkpoints and failure logs to local paths (normal for batch tools) but does not request persistent elevated privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install batch - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/batch - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
