paper-pilot-before-batch

What problem does it solve?

For any batch operation that touches 30 or more targets, this skill requires running a small pilot (3–5 samples) and presenting the results to the user to confirm the logic before applying to the full set.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Prevents cascading errors by validating logic on a representative sample.
• Applies to batch tasks across files, paragraphs, or citations when the target count reaches 30 or more, or when the scope is unknown and the user requests "all" or "the entire directory".
• Use Case: When updating a large set of references, run a 3–5 item pilot and review results before proceeding with full batch.

Quick Start

Run 3–5 sample items from the target batch, present the before/after results to the user for confirmation, and proceed to full batch only after approval.
