What it does

Commandkit Queue is an agent skill from neplexlabs/commandkit. Build queue-based messaging workflows with @commandkit/queue. Use for driver bootstrap, topic/payload contracts, send/receive patterns, and resilient consumer handling.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/00-filesystem-structure.md` and `references/01-driver-setup.md`).

The repository describes itself as: The discord.js meta-framework with features such as AI-powered command handler, analytics, feature flags, and more. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Driver bootstrap
  • Topic/payload contracts
  • Send/receive patterns
  • Resilient consumer handling

Example prompts

  • “/commandkit-queue”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Register queue driver once at startup.
  2. Define topic naming and payload contracts.
  3. Implement send/receive handlers with error strategy.
  4. Ensure idempotent consumption behavior.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d771e6b. 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

Commandkit Queue loads about 458 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 112 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~458
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

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 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.

CommandKit Queue Plugin

Activation guidance

Use for decoupled async communication between bot components/services.

Required filesystem expectations

  • queue bootstrap module (for example src/bootstrap/queue.ts)
  • producers/consumers in command/event/service layers
  • shared payload type module for typed contracts

Execution workflow

  1. Register queue driver once at startup.
  2. Define topic naming and payload contracts.
  3. Implement send/receive handlers with error strategy.
  4. Ensure idempotent consumption behavior.

Guardrails

  • Avoid unstructured payloads.
  • Avoid side-effect-heavy consumers without retry/idempotency planning.
