At a glance

Create and manage background workers, BullMQ queues, and scheduled jobs.

  • Works in 3 steps: Define Queue Name → Define Job Types → Export from Package
  • Adding new workers
  • SKILL.md covers Architecture, Existing Workers, Creating a New Queue and Creating a New Worker, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Worker Development is an agent skill from ChatbotXIO/ChatbotX. Create and manage background workers, BullMQ queues, and scheduled jobs. Use when adding new workers, creating queues, defining job types, building scheduled tasks, or working with async processing.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks and Background jobs. The repository describes itself as: Open-source ManyChat alternative, built for AI. Omnichannel marketing across WhatsApp, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Zalo, Email, API, and Webchat 🤖.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding new workers
  • Creating queues
  • Defining job types
  • Building scheduled tasks

Example prompts

  • “/worker-development”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Define Queue Name
  2. Define Job Types
  3. Export from Package

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 565c51a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript and json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Worker Development loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,028 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:141
    "worker:<domain>": "dotenv -e ../../.env -- tsx --watch src/<domain>/worker.ts"
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:267
    - Workers load env via `dotenv -e ../../.env` (root `.env` file)

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,028 words (~2,656 tokens).

“Workers run as separate Node processes in apps/worker/. They consume jobs from BullMQ queues backed by Redis.”
