concurrency-safe-tool-batching

concurrency-safe-tool-batching is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ychampion/cskill-agents. It costs 29 tokens per session (439 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool-orchestration guide for grouping safe read-only calls together and running state-changing calls one at a time. It treats concurrency as a decision based on each tool's behavior and inputs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan batches of tool calls, validate whether calls can safely run concurrently, serialize exclusive operations, and update shared context only after a parallel batch finishes.
Why use it?
Running dependent or mutating tool calls together can cause races, inconsistent state, or unpredictable ordering. The approach keeps parallel work efficient while preserving deterministic order where shared state may change.

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

concurrency-safe-tool-batching 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 10d 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.

SKILL: Concurrency-Safe Tool Batching

Domain: tool-orchestration
Trigger: Use when one turn contains multiple tool calls and some are safe to run together while others mutate state or require exclusive execution.
Source Pattern: Distilled from reviewed tool execution, streaming, persistence, and output-budget implementations.

Core Method

Partition the requested tool calls into successive batches where each batch is either a set of read-only calls that may run together or a single exclusive call that must run alone. Decide concurrency safety from each tool’s declared behavior and validated inputs, not from naming conventions. Execute safe batches in parallel, then apply any shared-context updates only after the whole batch completes. Run mutating or stateful tools one at a time so ordering and side effects remain deterministic.

Key Rules

  • Treat a tool as concurrency-safe only after validating its input and checking its declared safety rules; if anything is ambiguous, fall back to serial execution.
  • Append queued context modifiers from concurrent batches after they finish so the shared tool use context stays consistent before the next batch.
  • Always reorder only read-only batches; non-read-only batches must run on their own and update context inline so ordering and side effects remain deterministic.

Example Application

When building a CLI tool runner, first group together safe read-only lookups like file reads or searches, run that group in parallel, then execute any edit, write, or stateful shell step on its own. This gives you parallelism where it is safe without letting mutating tools race each other.

Anti-Patterns (What NOT to do)

  • Assume all tools are concurrency-safe and run them in parallel, which can break stateful tools like shell edits.
  • Drop queued context modifiers from concurrent batches and let subsequent batches run on stale context, leading to permission and session problems.
  • Merge tool use results out of order when non-read-only tools follow concurrent batches, which breaks user expectations about sequential effects.

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.

concurrency-safe-tool-batching is a skill published in the GitHub repository ychampion/cskill-agents (36 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 439 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
