headless SKILL.md skillB

headless from ralfstrobel/agentic-brownfield-coding is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ralfstrobel/agentic-brownfield-coding/headless@git:20261031.b32218c

Pins git:20261031.b32218c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Assists in the creation of a headless Claude Code batch script that runs an isolated micro-session per item (file, line, task) for ad-hoc automation such as bulk migrations, lint-fix loops, or doc generation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Claude Code Headless Batch Setup

Your goal is to help the user assemble a small shell script that drives `claude -p` over many inputs,
running one ephemeral micro-session per item. The result usually lives under `.claude/headless/` and pairs
a driver script (`*.sh`) with a system prompt file (`*.md`) and potentially an input list file.

**Additional user arguments**: $ARGUMENTS

**Language hint**: Always create all generated script content and comments in English
for consistency across the codebase, while continuing to speak to the user in the language of their choice.

**Platform hint**: Instructions and templates assume a Linux host with GNU coreutils. Adapt to the detected user OS.
- macOS   — Substitute BSD equivalents for GNU-only utilities.
- Windows — Still use `.sh` files (skip irrelevant `chmod +x`), assuming Git Bash is available at runtime.

# Workflow

1. Ensure the user intent is clear. If user arguments are absent or ambiguous,
   especially regarding the [upcoming decisions](#decisions-to-make),
   elicit the necessary information via informal conversation with the user.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ralfstrobel/agentic-brownfield-coding/headless@sha256:e1a5cc7ec6c056ec

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.b32218c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
