Batch pipeline

Use this skill to run one published Sloosh Space over a list of items. The tool descriptions and the server's instructions decide how each tool works. If this skill differs from a tool description or a server guide, follow the server.

One Space run makes one item's outputs. The Space fixes its own models and steps. This skill does not build or change a Space, and it does not join outputs into one file.

Before you start

• If the Sloosh tools are not available (no get_connection, quote_space or run_space tool), tell the user to install and connect the core Sloosh plugin. Then stop.
  • Claude Code: run /plugin install sloosh@sloosh, then run /mcp and sign in.
  • Claude app: open the plugin's Connectors tab and connect Sloosh. Or add a custom connector with the URL https://mcp.sloosh.ai/mcp.
• Call get_connection once in the conversation if you have not called it yet. If spending is not enabled, give the user the settings link it returns and do no paid work.
• Note the allowance left from get_connection. It is in millicredits. Divide it by 1000 to get credits. It is a daily allowance, and get_connection says when it resets.
• If the user gives a credit budget for the batch, note it too.
• If a brand kit exists, read it: a sloosh-brand.md file, Project knowledge, memory or pasted brand text. Use its voice in any brief you write.

Steps

Choose the Space

1. Call list_spaces with a search term from the request. Narrow by output type when you know it. Pass scope own when the user asks for their own Spaces.
2. Call get_space on the best matches. Describe one to three options in plain words and let the user choose. Choose by the description, the output type and what the form needs.
3. If no Space fits, tell the user. This skill does not build a Space. For one or two stills, offer the product-imagery skill.
4. Call get_space_input_schema for the chosen Space. Sort its fields into two groups: the fields that change per item, such as the product photo or the product name, and the fields that stay the same for every item, such as the aspect ratio or the style.

Build the item list

5. Get the list from the user: names in chat, image URLs, workspace assets or the rows of a table they share. Give each item a short, unique item id from its own data, such as the SKU, the product name or the file name. Use only lowercase letters, digits and hyphens. If two items give the same id, add the row number.
6. Ask for the values of the fields that stay the same once. Ask for missing per-item values once, as one list. For a select field, pick one of its options. Do not type free text into a select.
7. Before you import or pass a person's photo, a third-party image, reviews, a reference ad or a style reference, ask the user to confirm they may use it. Ask once for the whole list, before any quote. Do not use a photo of a child or of a public figure. If the user cannot confirm an item, drop that item and tell the user.
8. For each image, reuse an asset from list_assets, use import_asset for a public URL, or follow the server's upload instruction for a local file. Look at each image with view_asset before its round. Drop an image that does not show the item, and tell the user.
9. Show the user the item list with each item id and its per-item values. Ask the user to fix it before you quote.

Plan and approve a round

10. Plan rounds of at most 8 runs. Pass one item per run. Offer a first round of one item, so the user can check the result before the rest. If the user declines, start with a full round.
11. Quote only the items of the next round. A quote expires, so do not quote later rounds yet. Call quote_space once for each item, with the fixed values and that item's values.
12. Show the user a table for the round: each item id, its expected credits and its maximum hold. Under the table, show the round total of expected credits and the round total of maximum holds. If a quote has a warning, tell the user what it says.
13. Work out the allowance left: the allowance from get_connection minus the maximum holds of every run you started after that call. If a run has settled, use the credits it used instead of its hold. If a run's accounting is not known yet, keep counting its hold. If the round total of maximum holds is more than the allowance left, or more than what is left of the user's batch budget, make the round smaller. If one run does not fit, tell the user when the allowance resets, give them the settings link from get_connection and stop.
14. Ask the user to approve this round. Name every item in the round. Wait for the user.

Run the round

15. Call run_space for each item in the round, one after another. Pass that item's quote and a stable idempotency key built from the Space, the item id and the version, for example batch-white-packshot-sku-1042-v1. Set confirmed=true only after the user approves this quote.
16. Keep a status table for the whole batch: item id, key, operation id, state and outputs. Update it after each call. Do not show raw ids to the user unless they ask.
17. If show_generation is available, call show_generation once for each run, with that run's operation id. Show each Space run on its own. The card follows the run, so do not poll only to wait. If not, poll get_space_run for each open run about every 15 seconds until it settles or stops at a checkpoint. A slow run is not a failure.
18. If get_space_run shows a pending checkpoint, show the user which item it is for and what the checkpoint needs. Call approve_space_checkpoint or reject_space_checkpoint only when the user decides. The user can decide for several runs in one answer. Call the tool for each run with that run's own operationId, nodeId, runKey and expectedRerunCount. A decision cannot be changed by retrying. If the user does not decide, the run waits and keeps its hold. Remind the user once. Do not decide for them.
19. Cancel a run with cancel_space_run only when the user asks.
20. When a run ends, take its outputs from get_space_run. If they are absent, call get_space_run_outputs. Record each output with its label, type and link. get_space_run gives the credits the run used in millicredits. Divide by 1000.
21. When every run of the round has settled, report the round: how many items succeeded out of how many ran, the items that succeeded with their outputs, the items that failed and why, and the credits the round used. After a test round of one item, ask the user to check the result before you plan the rest. Then plan the next round from the items that are left.

Finish

22. When all rounds are done, give the user one summary: each item id, its state, its output links and the credits it used, and the total credits the batch used.
23. To change a finished result, follow the creative-iteration skill.

For checkpoints, holds and run states, read the spaces guide with get_guide.

Brief pattern

Many Spaces take a brief or hook field. Their own steps expand it, so keep it short and literal. Change only the item's own details from one item to the next:

Product: [name], [what it is in one line]. Audience: [who]. Message: [one line]. Keep the label exact. Avoid: [list]. Language: [language].

• Use only claims the user gives or the product page shows. Do not invent reviews, results or offers.
• For 9:16 placements, keep the product and any text out of the top 14%, the bottom 35% and 6% at each side of the frame.

Partial failures

• Treat each item on its own. A failed item does not stop the round.
• Never run an item again after it succeeded. Before each round, check the status table and leave out every item that succeeded.
• To retry the same run, use the same key.
• A failed item that needs a new run goes into a later round. It needs a new quote, a new approval and a new key, such as batch-white-packshot-sku-1042-v2.
• If a run delivers nothing because a reference photo shows a real person who is not verified yet, the same key returns the same result. Wait about a minute. Then put the item into a later round with a fresh quote, a new approval and a new key. Do this once per item. If it fails again, tell the user and drop the item.
• Some runs end without a stored result. Call get_space_run to see why the run ended and what it used. Tell the user in plain words.
• If the allowance runs out, stop. Give the user the settings link from get_connection. List the items that did not run.
• If the Space is gone, stop. Tell the user which items did not run. Search again with list_spaces and offer an alternative.

Spending rules

• Get a quote before any paid call. State its credits in plain words.
• If a quote has a warning, tell the user what it says before they approve.
• Plan at most 8 runs per round. Quote each run, show every expected cost and maximum hold with the round totals, and get one approval that names all of them. If the round total of maximum holds is more than the allowance left, do not run.
• Wait for the user's approval of each quote. Changed inputs, another Space or an expired quote needs a new quote and a new approval.
• Start each idempotency key with batch- and build it from the Space, the item id and the version. Use the same key when you retry the same run. Never reuse a key across different quotes or different items. Do not make a new key to retry.
• If get_space_run shows the submission was rejected, nothing ran. Tell the user what the error says. Among retries, only this case and the real person case need a new quote, a new approval and a new key.
• If a run fails because the service owner is unavailable, retry once with the same key. If it fails again, tell the user and move on to the next item.
• If the result of a run is unclear, use reconcile_space_run before you retry. Do not start a second run for the same item.
• For any other error, read the recovery guide with get_guide before you act. Retry at most once.
