Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Batch compress all natural language files in a directory using iceage compression. Parallel workers, progress tracking, dry-run mode. Use when user says "compress all files", "batch compress", "compress this directory", or invokes /iceage-batch.Key capabilities
- →Batch compress natural language files in a directory
- →Use parallel workers for compression
- →Track compression progress
- →Perform a dry-run to list files that would be compressed
- →Skip creating backup files
How it works
This skill compresses all natural language files within a specified directory using the Claude API per file. It supports parallel processing and can operate in a dry-run mode.
Inputs & outputs
When to use iceage-batch
- →Compressing documentation folders
- →Batch reducing project text files
- →Optimizing context size for AI consumption
About this skill
Compress all compressible files in a directory. Uses Claude API per file.
Usage
go run ./iceage-batch/go <directory> [flags]
Flags:
--dry-run— list files that would be compressed, no API calls--no-backup— skip creating.original.mdbackups (good for version-controlled dirs)--workers N— parallel compression (default 1, increase carefully — API rate limits apply)--recursive=false— top-level only, no subdirectories
Examples
go run ./iceage-batch/go docs/
go run ./iceage-batch/go docs/ --dry-run
go run ./iceage-batch/go docs/ --no-backup
go run ./iceage-batch/go docs/ --workers 3
go run ./iceage-batch/go . --recursive=false
Requirements
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in environment or .env.local. Falls back to claude CLI if no key.
Output
Found 8 compressible file(s) in docs/
[1/8] docs/guide.md ... OK (1.2s)
[2/8] docs/api.md ... OK (0.9s)
[3/8] docs/old.md ... Skipped (backup exists)
[4/8] docs/broken.md ... FAILED (validation failed after retries)
Done
Compressed: 6
Skipped: 1
Failed: 1
Exit codes: 0 = all OK, 1 = fatal error, 2 = one or more files failed.
When not to use it
- →The files are not natural language files
- →The task does not involve compressing files in a directory
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Uses Claude API per file
- →API rate limits apply to parallel compression
- →Limited to compressible files
How it compares
This skill automates the compression of multiple natural language files in a directory, offering parallel processing and backup options, unlike manual file compression.
