batch-small-questions-together

batch-small-questions-together is a skill for Claude Code from alivirgo/Major-AI-Skills. It costs 21 tokens per session (1,194 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prompt-writing method that combines several related small questions into one request instead of sending them one at a time. The aim is to receive a clearly divided answer in a single exchange.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for small batches of related explanations, checks, summaries, or transformations in an AI workflow.
Why use it?
Separate questions repeatedly carry the earlier conversation and add waiting between answers. Grouping related questions reduces that repeated context and the number of exchanges.

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-small-questions-together 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 1mo 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.

Batch Small Questions Together (Token Batching) (AI Skill)

Overview

Every time you send a new message in an ongoing AI conversation, the entire previous chat history is re-sent as input tokens. Sending 5 separate, one-sentence questions sequentially creates quadratic context accumulation ($O(N^2)$ token costs), triggering rate limits and wasting time.

Token Batching is the practice of combining 3 to 5 related micro-questions into a single structured prompt, receiving a clean, multi-part answer in one fast round-trip.

Master Batching Prompt Templates

Pattern 1: The Numbered Q&A Batch (Research & Fact-Finding)

Based on the attached documentation / topic of [TOPIC], answer these 4 specific questions in order:

1. **Prerequisites**: What specific SDK version and runtime is required?
2. **Pricing**: What is the free-tier allowance vs. overage cost per 1k requests?
3. **Authentication**: Does this use OAuth2 Bearer tokens or static API keys?
4. **Rate Limits**: What are the requests-per-minute (RPM) limits for standard accounts?

Format each answer as:
**[Number]. [Topic Name]**: [1-2 concise sentences]

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.
