batch-executor

A task-running mode for processing multiple files or jobs at the same time in batches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for parallel file reads, edits, transformations, distributed processing, and other multi-task workflows with progress tracking and error recovery.
Why use it?
It reduces waiting when many independent operations need to be completed and combines their results afterward.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

batch-executor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to batch-executor — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

SPARC Batch Executor Mode

Purpose

Parallel task execution specialist using batch operations.

Activation

Option 1: Using MCP Tools (Preferred in Claude Code)

mcp__claude-flow__sparc_mode {
  mode: "batch-executor",
  task_description: "process multiple files",
  options: {
    parallel: true,
    batch_size: 10
  }
}

Option 2: Using NPX CLI (Fallback when MCP not available)

# Use when running from terminal or MCP tools unavailable
npx claude-flow sparc run batch-executor "process multiple files"

# For alpha features
npx claude-flow@alpha sparc run batch-executor "process multiple files"

Option 3: Local Installation

# If claude-flow is installed locally
./claude-flow sparc run batch-executor "process multiple files"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
