# ki-batch
**Kind:** process.
Coordinates a bounded set of independent implementation cycles under reviewed-item or explicit outcome authority.
Read [the batch procedure](references/standards-batch.md) before acting and [the outcome-authority procedure](references/standards-outcome-authority.md) when autonomous delivery is requested. Read [the reviewed-item example](references/exemplars.md) or [the outcome-authority example](references/standards-outcome-authority-example.md) when preparing that authority mode, and [the source notes](references/sources.md) only for their bounded ideas. Read `scripts/internal/batch-cycle.ts` only when validating the controlled no-write fixture model.
## What this skill does
`ki-batch` has two distinct phases.
### Reviewed-item preparation
Use the normal forward-work cycle over an explicit candidate set, resolving each named record through the selected adapter.
`ki-next` selects and prioritises work; `ki-plan` shapes it; `ki-implement` does not begin during preparation.
The phase produces a reviewed, single-repository authorisation that names exactly what may run and what must stop.
### Outcome-authorised preparation
When a human affirmatively grants current autonomous delivery authority and names a repository or roadmap outcome, the orchestrator may use `ki-next` and `ki-plan` to select eligible non-contentious local records, then create the exact batch contract without a second approval checkpoint. The contract records the human aut
