Definition
The processing of multiple files in a single Cowork task, typically with parallel sub-agents. Phrases like "for each one," "analyse all," and "process these" signal to Claude that the work can be parallelised. Batch processing is ideal for renaming, converting, extracting data from, or summarising many files at once.
Exam Context
Know the natural language triggers that activate parallel batch processing and when batch processing is appropriate versus when sequential processing is needed.
