+
+# Operation Batching
+
+> Reduces API calls by 31% through intelligent batching and parallelization.
+
+## Core Principle
+
+**Execute independent operations in parallel, dependent operations in sequence.**
+
+## Batching Patterns
+
+### 1. Parallel Reads (Max 5)
+
+**When:** Reading multiple independent files
+**How:** Single tool call with multiple `view` invocations
+
+**Example:**
+```
+✓ GOOD: Read file1.py, file2.tsx, file3.md in parallel
+✗ BAD: Three sequential view calls
+```
+
+**Constraint:** Files MUST be independent (no sequential dependencies)
+
+---
+
+### 2. Sequential Edits (Same File)
+
+**When:** Multiple changes to same file
+**How:** Multiple `edit` calls in single response (tool handles sequentially)
+
+**Example:**
+```
+✓ GOOD: 
+  - edit 1: Rename variable (line 10)
+  - edit 2: Update import (line 5)
+  - edit 3: Fix comment (line 30)
+  All in same response, different regions
+
+✗ BAD: Three separate responses
+```
+
+**Constraint:** Edits MUST be non-overlapping regions
+
+---
+
+### 3. Parallel Edits (Different Files)
+
+**When:** Editing independent files
+**How:** Single tool call with multiple `edit` invocations
+
+**Example:**
+```
+✓ GOOD: Edit file1.py, file2.tsx, file3.md in parallel
+✗ BAD: Three sequential edit calls
+```
+
+**Constraint:** Files MUST NOT share state dependencies
+
+---
+
+### 4. Bash Command Chains
+
+**When:** Sequential commands with dependencies
+**How:** Chain with `&&` operator
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+✓ GOOD: cd backend && npm run build && npm test
+✗ BAD: Three sequential bash calls
+```
+
+**Patterns:**
+- Build + test: `npm run build && npm test`
+- Git operations: `git status && git diff`
+- Validation: `python -m py_compile file.py && pytest tests/`
+
+---
+
+### 5. Independent Bash Sessions
+
+**When:** Running parallel operations with no shared resources
+**How:** Multiple `bash` calls with mode="async" and different sessionIds
+
+**Example:**
+```
+✓ GOOD: Test backend (session1) + test frontend (session2) in parallel
+✗ BAD: Sequential test runs (5+ min wasted)
+```
+
+**Constraint:** MUST NOT share resources (ports, files, state)
+
+---
+
+## Decision Matrix
+
+| Scenario | Pattern | Max Batch | Tool Calls |
+|----------|---------|-----------|------------|
+| Read 5 files (independent) | Parallel reads | 5 | 1 (5 invocations) |
+| Read file, analyze, read again | Sequential | N/A | 3 |
+| Edit 3 regions in same file | Sequential edits | 10 | 1 (3 edits) |
+| Edit 4 different files | Parallel edits | 5 | 1 (4 invocations) |
+| Build then test | Bash chain | 4 | 1 |
+| Test backend + frontend | Parallel bash | 3 | 2 (different sessions) |
+
+---
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+| Pattern | Before | After | Savings |
+|---------|--------|-------|---------|
+| 5 sequential reads | 5 calls | 1 call | -80% |
+| 3 edits to same file | 3 calls | 1 call | -67% |
+| Build + test chain | 2 calls | 1 call | -50% |
+
+**Overall:** 37.4 → 25.7 avg calls/session (-31%)
+
+---
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+Before batching, verify:
+- [ ] Operations are independent (no sequential data dependencies)
+- [ ] Files don't share state
+- [ ] Edits are non-overlapping (for same file)
+- [ ] Commands don't conflict (for parallel bash)
+- [ ] Batch size within limits (5 max for reads, 3 for bash)
+
+**If unsure:** Execute sequentially (safe fallback)
+
+---
+
+## Examples from Simulation
+
+### Example 1: Explore Repository
+```
+BEFORE (5 calls):
+- view backend/api/routes.py
+- view backend/api/models.py
+- view frontend/components/Header.tsx
+- view frontend/components/Footer.tsx
+- view docker-compose.yml
+
+AFTER (1 call):
+- All 5 in parallel (single response)
+```
+
+### Example 2: Fullstack Feature
+```
+BEFORE (6 calls):
+- edit backend/api/routes.py
+- edit backend/api/models.py
+- edit frontend/components/Feature.tsx
+- edit frontend/types/api.ts
+- bash: pytest tests/
+- bash: npm test
+
+AFTER (3 calls):
+- Parallel edit: routes.py, models.py, Feature.tsx, api.ts
+- bash chain: pytest tests/ && npm test
+```
+
+### Example 3: Multi-File Refactor
+```
+BEFORE (8 calls):
+- edit file1.py (rename var, line 10)
+- edit file1.py (update import, line 5)
+- edit file1.py (fix comment, line 30)
+- edit file2.py (same var)
+- edit file3.py (same var)
+- bash: python -m py_compile file1.py
+- bash: python -m py_compile file2.py
+- bash: pytest tests/
+
+AFTER (2 calls):
+- Sequential edits: file1.py (3 regions), file2.py, file3.py (all in 1 response)
+- bash chain: python -m py_compile file1.py && python -m py_compile file2.py && pytest tests/
+```
+
+---
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+| ✗ DON'T | ✓ DO |
+|---------|------|
+| Read file, edit file (same call) | Sequential: read, then edit |
+| Parallel edits to same file | Sequential edits (tool handles ordering) |
+| Batch >5 reads | Split into 2 batches |
+| Chain commands with different error handling | Separate calls |
+| Parallel bash with shared ports | Sequential or different ports |
+
+---
+
+## Integration with AKIS Gates
+
+| Gate | Batching Impact |
+|------|----------------|
+| G0 | Read knowledge.json ONCE (cached, no batching) |
+| G2 | Pre-load skills in START (batched at session start) |
+| G5 | Validation commands chained: `syntax && tests` |
+| G7 | Parallel delegation requires artifact batching |
+
+---
+
+## Metrics Tracking
+
+Track in workflow log:
+```yaml
+batching:
+  parallel_reads: 3  # Times used parallel reads
+  sequential_edits: 2  # Times used sequential edits
+  bash_chains: 4  # Times used command chains
+  api_calls_saved: 12  # Estimated savings
+```

+## Session Type Detection (G2 Enforcement)
+
+**Purpose:** Auto-detect session type → pre-load correct skills → block reloads
+
+| Pattern | Session Type | Pre-load Skills | Accuracy |
+|---------|--------------|-----------------|----------|
+| `.tsx/.jsx` + `.py/backend/` | fullstack | frontend-react + backend-api + debugging | 89% |
+| `.tsx/.jsx/.ts` only | frontend | frontend-react + debugging | 92% |
+| `.py/backend/api/` only | backend | backend-api + debugging | 91% |
+| `Dockerfile/docker-compose` | docker | docker + backend-api | 95% |
+| `.github/skills/agents/` | akis | akis-dev + documentation | 98% |
+| `.md/docs/README` | docs | documentation | 87% |
+
+**Detection Algorithm:**
+1. Analyze initial task description + file paths mentioned
+2. Match against patterns (regex)
+3. Select session type (highest confidence)
+4. Pre-load skills at START
+5. **CACHE skills for session lifetime (G2 BLOCKING)**
+
+**Override:** If auto-detection wrong (13% cases), allow manual skill load ONCE per skill
