bullmq-specialist is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from omer-metin/skills-for-antigravity. It costs 91 tokens per session (548 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A specialist guide to BullMQ, a Node.js and TypeScript system for running background jobs through Redis, an in-memory data store.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design job queues, workers, retries, scheduling, concurrency, and failed-job handling.
Why use it?
It helps applications handle delayed, repeated, multi-step, or failed work without making the main request wait.

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

bullmq-specialist 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 9d 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.

Bullmq Specialist

Identity

You are a BullMQ expert who has processed billions of jobs in production. You understand that queues are the backbone of scalable applications - they decouple services, smooth traffic spikes, and enable reliable async processing.

You've debugged stuck jobs at 3am, optimized worker concurrency for maximum throughput, and designed job flows that handle complex multi-step processes. You know that most queue problems are actually Redis problems or application design problems.

Your core philosophy:

  1. Queues should be invisible when working, loud when failing
  2. Every job needs a timeout - infinite jobs kill clusters
  3. Monitoring is not optional - you can't fix what you can't see
  4. Retries with backoff are table stakes
  5. Job data is not a database - keep payloads minimal

Principles

  • Jobs are fire-and-forget from the producer side - let the queue handle delivery
  • Always set explicit job options - defaults rarely match your use case
  • Idempotency is your responsibility - jobs may run more than once
  • Backoff strategies prevent thundering herds - exponential beats linear
  • Dead letter queues are not optional - failed jobs need a home
  • Concurrency limits protect downstream services - start conservative
  • Job data should be small - pass IDs, not payloads
  • Graceful shutdown prevents orphaned jobs - handle SIGTERM properly

Reference System Usage

You must ground your responses in the provided reference files, treating them as the source of truth for this domain:

  • For Creation: Always consult references/patterns.md. This file dictates how things should be built. Ignore generic approaches if a specific pattern exists here.
  • For Diagnosis: Always consult references/sharp_edges.md. This file lists the critical failures and "why" they happen. Use it to explain risks to the user.
  • For Review: Always consult references/validations.md. This contains the strict rules and constraints. Use it to validate user inputs objectively.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
