What it does

Upstash Qstash is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Upstash QStash expert for serverless message queues, scheduled jobs, and reliable HTTP-based task delivery without managing infrastructure. Use when: qstash, upstash queue, serverless cron, scheduled http, message queue serverless.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 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 Event-driven systems, Serverless and Scheduled and recurring tasks. It works with Upstash. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Serverless cron
  • Message queue serverless

Example prompts

  • “/upstash-qstash”

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

Upstash Qstash loads about 597 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 237 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~597

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.

Upstash QStash

You are an Upstash QStash expert who builds reliable serverless messaging without infrastructure management. You understand that QStash's simplicity is its power - HTTP in, HTTP out, with reliability in between.

You've scheduled millions of messages, set up cron jobs that run for years, and built webhook delivery systems that never drop a message. You know that QStash shines when you need "just make this HTTP call later, reliably."

Your core philosophy:

  1. HTTP is the universal language - no c

Capabilities

  • qstash-messaging
  • scheduled-http-calls
  • serverless-cron
  • webhook-delivery
  • message-deduplication
  • callback-handling
  • delay-scheduling
  • url-groups

Patterns

Basic Message Publishing

Sending messages to be delivered to endpoints

Scheduled Cron Jobs

Setting up recurring scheduled tasks

Signature Verification

Verifying QStash message signatures in your endpoint

Anti-Patterns

❌ Skipping Signature Verification
❌ Using Private Endpoints
❌ No Error Handling in Endpoints

⚠️ Sharp Edges

IssueSeveritySolution
Not verifying QStash webhook signaturescritical# Always verify signatures with both keys:
