Review Queue Management

Review Queue Management is a skill for Claude Code from ChrisMckerracher/claude-dream-team. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,669 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line workflow for moving coding tasks through code review and quality assurance. QA means checking that the finished change works as expected; the workflow uses a queue to track each handoff.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to submit work for review, claim the next review or QA task, approve or reject changes, and check queue status with the `dtq` command.
Why use it?
It gives coding, review, and QA agents a shared order and status for their tasks. It also records approvals, rejections, reasons, and review cycles.

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

Review Queue Management 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 10d 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.

Review Queue Management

The review queue orchestrates the handoff pipeline between Coding agents, Code Review agent, and QA agent using the dtq CLI tool.

dtq CLI Reference

dtq submit <task-id> --branch <branch> --worktree <path> --agent <name>  # Submit for review
dtq claim <stage> --agent <name>          # Claim next item (review|qa)
dtq approve <task-id> --agent <name>      # Advance to next stage
dtq reject <task-id> --reason <text> --agent <name>  # Send back for revision
dtq status [task-id]                      # Show queue or item detail

Agent identity is passed via the --agent flag. The queue directory is auto-detected from the git root (no DTQ_QUEUE_DIR env var needed).

Queue Flow (Distributed Peer-to-Peer)

Each task flows independently through the pipeline as soon as it's submitted. Tasks don't wait for batch processing — they progress coding → review → qa → merge-ready in parallel.

Coding Agent completes work
  → dtq submit <task-id> --branch <branch> --worktree <path> --agent coder-1
  → Sends ping via SendMessage to Code Review Agent

Code Review Agent (ping-reactive)
  → Receives ping from Coding Agent
  → dtq claim review --agent code-review  (claims the submitted item)
  → Reviews code
  → On APPROVED:
      dtq approve <task-id> --agent code-review  (advances to qa)
      Sends ping via SendMessage to QA Agent
  → On NEEDS_WORK:
      dtq reject <task-id> --reason "..." --agent code-review  (back to coding)
      Sends feedback via SendMessage to Coding Agent

QA Agent (ping-reactive)
  → Receives ping from Code Review Agent
  → dtq claim qa --agent qa  (claims the approved item)
  → Validates against specs or auto-approves if trivial
  → On PASSED:
      dtq approve <task-id> --agent qa  (advances to merge-ready)
      Sends merge-ready ping via SendMessage to Team Lead
  → On FAILED:
      dtq reject <task-id> --reason "..." --agent qa  (back to coding)
      Sends failure report via SendMessage to Coding Agent

Team Lead (merge coordinator)
  → Receives merge-ready pings from QA
  → Merges branch into epic branch
  → Confirms merge via SendMessage to Coding Agent
  → Coding Agent marks TaskList task as completed

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.
