Batch repeated work without turning batching into a rule
Reduce avoidable setup and switching while preserving responsiveness where delay is costly. The pack separates batchable communication and maintenance from urgent channels, uses capture queues to protect focus, and gives batching an explicit stop condition.

Heuristic
Batch by setup state, not only by task label
The useful batch is the one that avoids rebuilding the same state.
Read the idea ProtocolGive batchable communication check windows
A channel can stay reliable without being continuously visible.
Read the idea ConceptSeparate urgent channels from batchable channels
Batching works better when urgency has its own route.
Read the idea ProtocolCapture a request without opening its context
You often need to preserve the request, not perform it.
Read the idea HeuristicBreak the batch when delay costs more than the switch
The goal is lower total friction, not a perfect batching streak.
Read the idea ProtocolBatch low-risk maintenance at natural boundaries
Maintenance is easier to keep when it arrives as a short reset instead of random friction.
