crow-ci-queue

crow-ci-queue is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from corveil/crow. It costs 135 tokens per session (9,029 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A queue that lets only one approved pull request per repository run a full CI test suite at a time. CI, or continuous integration, automatically builds and tests code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps order approved pull requests, manage the ci:full label, update branches from main, start the next eligible test run, and monitor the current one.
Why use it?
Running the same full suite on many pull requests can overload a limited runner pool and repeat work when branches fall behind the main branch.

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 B, and why

crow-ci-queue scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (queue_test.sh, queue.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Crow CI Queue Skill

Purpose

On a repo that follows the CI Gate convention (ADR 0082; today corveil/corveil), the full test.yml suite runs only while a PR carries ci:full, and crow-review-pr adds that label when it approves (CROW-1306). When several session PRs are approved around the same time, they all run the suite at once. Two things go wrong:

  • They fight over the small self-hosted runner pool, so every run gets slower.
  • The work is thrown away. main requires branches to be up to date (strict_required_status_checks_policy). When one PR merges, every other PR falls behind, gets its branch updated, and runs the suite again.

This skill runs those PRs one at a time, per repo:

  1. Collect the PRs of every active / inReview work session that carry crow:merge, in repos that follow the convention. There is one queue per repo.
  2. Normalize: strip ci:full from every queued PR except one, the holder.
  3. Order the rest: ready PRs, oldest first. PRs that aren't ready are listed with the reason.
  4. Advance: update the next ready PR from main if it's behind, confirm it's still approved, then add ci:full.
  5. Watch the holder in a background process that exits only when a decision is needed. You're woken by that exit; you don't poll.
  6. Report each step to the operator in one line.
  7. Keep going. A repo whose queue drains keeps an idle watcher, so a session created later joins its queue. Each watcher exit also re-checks for repos that became queueable. The queue runs until the operator stops it.

queue.sh is the deterministic half: reading GitHub and Crow, classifying runs, choosing the holder, and the label and update-branch writes. This file is the other half: what to do with each answer.

Why not GitHub's merge queue? It solves the same "strict up-to-date means N re-runs" problem natively, but it doesn't fit the label gate as it stands. corveil/corveil's main has no merge-queue rule, and test.yml runs only on pull_request and workflow_dispatch, not merge_group. The ADR 0082 gate also keys on the PR's ci:full label, which a merge_group run doesn't carry. Adopting it means redesigning that gate. Whether the org's plan offers a merge queue for this repo hasn't been checked.

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.

crow-ci-queue is a skill published in the GitHub repository corveil/crow (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 135 tokens to every session and 9,029 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-26.
