kb-batch

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents risky, one-off Knowledge Database changes by guiding you through controlled bulk operations with mandatory dry-run previews and governance checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Mandatory dry-run: Shows exactly what will change before any updates are applied.
• GOV-15 gate for defects/regressions: Requires owner approval confirmation for defect/regression work items.
• 50-item maximum with validation: Rejects oversized batches and verifies all provided IDs exist before making changes.
• Batch KB operations: Supports resolve-wis, promote-specs, and retire-specs to move records through governed lifecycle stages.

Real-world use case: you need to resolve a small set of work items and promote or retire related specs after an approved change, while keeping an auditable, safety-checked record of what happened.

Quick Start

Run kb-batch with your operation and IDs, adding --execute only when the dry-run output looks correct.
