What kind of task triage does it perform?

The hypervisor includes logic for closure detection, automatic assignee allocation based on task type, and wikilink injection for project organization.

Is this skill deprecated?

It is deprecated for parallel task processing involving git worktrees, where 'swarm-supervisor' is now preferred. However, it remains highly useful for general file-based batch operations.

How does the atomic locking pattern work?

It uses the `mkdir` command on POSIX systems, which is an atomic operation. If multiple workers try to create the same lock directory at once, only one will succeed, ensuring a single worker claims each task.

Can I monitor the progress of batch runs?

Yes, the batch worker script includes a --stats flag that provides real-time updates on task completion, results, and the remaining queue status.

Productivity & Workflow

Coordinates batch operations using atomic locking patterns to prevent duplicate processing across multiple agents.

The Atomic Batch Hypervisor skill provides domain-specific patterns for managing large-scale batch operations through atomic locking. By utilizing POSIX-compliant directory creation as a lock mechanism, it allows multiple agents or sub-agents to safely claim and process items from a shared queue without duplication. While superseded by swarm-supervisor for complex parallel task management requiring isolated worktrees, it remains the standard for processing large file queues and independent data items, providing essential scripts for worker spawning, progress monitoring, and automated task triage.
