# Review Batch
Context-switching between agents is the hidden tax: every cold reload costs minutes and you never restore the context perfectly. Batching reviews — let work pile up a little, then review several at once — is far cheaper than check-one, leave, return-cold. This skill assembles the pending work into one sitting.
## Procedure
1. **Gather the picture:**
```bash
bun run review-batch
```
Prints the review-queue depth (and age of the oldest unreviewed work), the working-tree diff stat, and recent agent activity from `~/.claude/swarm.log`.
2. **Build a re-entry card per change** — group the diff by file area / the agent that produced it. Each card:
```
### [change] — [files]
- What: [one-line summary of the diff]
- Why: [intent / which agent + task produced it]
- Decide: [the 1-3 things that actually need your judgment — not the mechanical parts]
- Proof: [bun run proof verdict — review-ready or not; screenshot for UI]
```
The card exists to make the cold reload cheap: it reloads *your* context (what to decide), not the machine's (what already passed).
3. **Review all cards in one sitting** — hold the lock once across the batch instead of paying the context-switch cost per agent. Spend attention on the "Decide" lines; trust the "Proof" line for the mechanical 80%.
4. **Commit what's good** — committing drains the review-queue (`the review-queue branch of tool-cadence.ts`) and closes the loop. Kick anything not `review-ready
