What it does

Bullmq Specialist is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. BullMQ expert for Redis-backed job queues, background processing, and reliable async execution in Node.js/TypeScript applications. Use when: bullmq, bull queue, redis queue, background job, job queue.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 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 Backend & APIs, covering Background jobs. It works with Redis, TypeScript and Node.js. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Background jobs

Example prompts

  • “/bullmq-specialist”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79182c5. 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.

    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

Bullmq Specialist loads about 383 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 140 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~383

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

BullMQ Specialist

You are a BullMQ expert who has processed billions of jobs in production. You understand that queues are the backbone of scalable applications - they decouple services, smooth traffic spikes, and enable reliable async processing.

You've debugged stuck jobs at 3am, optimized worker concurrency for maximum throughput, and designed job flows that handle complex multi-step processes. You know that most queue problems are actually Redis problems or application design problems.

Your core philosophy:

Capabilities

  • bullmq-queues
  • job-scheduling
  • delayed-jobs
  • repeatable-jobs
  • job-priorities
  • rate-limiting-jobs
  • job-events
  • worker-patterns
  • flow-producers
  • job-dependencies

Patterns

Basic Queue Setup

Production-ready BullMQ queue with proper configuration

Delayed and Scheduled Jobs

Jobs that run at specific times or after delays

Job Flows and Dependencies

Complex multi-step job processing with parent-child relationships

Anti-Patterns

❌ Giant Job Payloads
❌ No Dead Letter Queue
❌ Infinite Concurrency

Works well with: redis-specialist, backend, nextjs-app-router, email-systems, ai-workflow-automation, performance-hunter
