smith-queue

A persistent queue for coding tasks that are not ready to run immediately. Tasks are stored as files in a project vault and can include priorities, dependencies, schedules, and statuses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add, list, prioritize, schedule, process, batch-execute, or remove tasks. It can also keep a history of queued work and run batches in separate Git workspaces.
Why use it?
It prevents deferred work from being lost in notes or conversations. It also organizes tasks that must wait for other tasks or be processed together.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

smith-queue scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 581 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Smith Task Queue

Manage deferred work through a persistent task queue in .smith/vault/queue/. Supports priority ordering, dependency tracking, scheduled execution, status lifecycle management, and batch processing with git worktree isolation.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Vault Logging

Throughout this action, log significant events to the vault session log. Read the session log path from .smith/vault/.current-session. If the file is missing or the vault is not initialized, skip all logging silently.

Append entries using this format:

### [HH:MM:SS] /smith-queue <event>

**User Request:**
> <verbatim user message that triggered this action>

**Synthesized Input:** <brief summary>
**Outcome:** <what happened>
**Artifacts:** <files created/modified>
**Systems affected:** <system IDs>

Log at these points:

  1. On invocation — which subcommand was used
  2. After task added/removed/processed/scheduled — task description, queue file path, status change

Queue Entry Format

All queue entries are markdown files in .smith/vault/queue/ with this frontmatter:

---
task: "<task description>"
branch: "<feature branch name — the queue processor checks out this branch via worktree>"
spec_path: "<path to the feature spec folder on the feature branch>"
primary_system: "<system ID, e.g., system-13-trend-intelligence>"
created: "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS"
project: "<project directory basename>"
complexity: autonomous|interactive|review
priority: critical|high|medium|low
status: pending|scheduled|in-progress|completed|failed|blocked
depends_on: []
scheduled_for: ""
---

## Context

<brief description of what this feature does and key decisions>

## Artifacts on branch

- spec.md — feature specification
- plan.md — implementation plan
- questions.md — clarification questions (all answered)
- <any other artifacts>

## Execution Instructions

Run `/smith-build` from the `<branch>` branch with feature dir `<spec_path>`.

Required fields: task, branch, spec_path, status, complexity, priority.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

smith-queue is a skill published in the GitHub repository ATTCKDigital/smith (52 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 6,265 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
