Batching Patterns Version: 1.0.0 Purpose: The Golden Rule of Claude Code execution -- batch operations for maximum parallelism Status: Production Ready Overview The Golden Rule of Claude Code performance: "1 MESSAGE = ALL RELATED OPERATIONS" Every tool call within a single message executes in parallel (when no dependencies exist). Every separate message introduces a sequential round-trip. This distinction is the difference between a 2-minute workflow and a 10-minute one. Each message carries API round-trip overhead. Batching eliminates N-1 round-trips. --- The Batching Principle Claude Code h…
