Detailed description
Batch Execution Mode
Autonomous and sequential execution of user stories from a PRD file.
PRD file format
JSON (prd.json)
{
"project": "project-name",
"stories": [
{
"id": "US-001",
"title": "Story title",
"description": "Detailed description",
"priority": "P1",
"acceptance_criteria": [
"Given X, When Y, Then Z"
],
"files": ["src/module.ts", "src/module.test.ts"]
}
]
}
Markdown (prd.md)
## US-001: Story title
**Priority**: P1
**Description**: Detailed description
**Acceptance criteria**:
- Given X, When Y, Then Z
**Files**: src/module.ts, src/module.test.ts
Workflow per story
For each story in priority order (P1 → P2 → P3):
1. LOAD - Load the story
- Read the story from the PRD file
- Display the title and description
- Check prerequisites (files, dependencies)
2. IMPLEMENT - TDD cycle
- Write the tests first (RED)
- Implement the minimal code (GREEN)
- Refactor if necessary (REFACTOR)
- Verify the acceptance criteria
3. COMMIT - Save
- Run the tests:
npm test/pytest/go test - If tests OK: commit with
feat(scope): US-XXX description - If tests KO: STOP and report the blocker
4. REPORT - Update the state
- Mark the story as done in
.claude/output/batch/progress.json - Log the time and modified files
- Move on to the next story
Progress file
Automatic save in .claude/output/batch/progress.json:
{
"started_at": "2026-03-23T10:00:00Z",
"stories": {
"US-001": { "status": "done", "commit": "abc1234", "files": ["..."] },
"US-002": { "status": "in_progress" },
"US-003": { "status": "pending" }
}
}
Resume after interruption
If progress.json exists, resume at the last in_progress or pending story.
Guardrails
- Maximum 10 stories per batch (beyond that, split)
- STOP if 2 consecutive stories fail
- Each story must pass the tests before continuing
- Commit after each story (no giant commits)
IMPORTANT: Each story is an atomic commit. Do not accumulate changes.
NEVER continue if the tests fail on a story.
YOU MUST save the progress in .claude/output/batch/progress.json.
Automatic triggering
This skill is automatically activated when:
- The matching keywords are detected in the conversation
- The task context matches the skill's domain
Triggering examples
- "I want to work..."
- "I want to batch..."
Context fork
Fork means the skill runs in an isolated context:
- Does not pollute the main conversation
- Results are returned cleanly
- Ideal for autonomous tasks
