async

async is a skill for Claude Code from TheBeardedBearSAS/claude-craft. It costs 34 tokens per session (819 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for processing work asynchronously with message queues and background workers. Instead of making a user wait for a long operation, the application sends it to a worker for later processing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for emails, PDF generation, exports, third-party API calls, batch jobs, and other work that can run outside the request.
Why use it?
It keeps web pages and APIs responsive while supporting retries, parallel workers, and failure handling.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00034 $0.00819

Security

Grade A, and why

async 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 15d 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.

Async-First — Quick Reference

Décharger les traitements > 200 ms vers des workers en arrière-plan, pour garder l'UI/API réactives.

Quand activer l'async

Cas Async ?
Envoi d'email transactionnel ✅
Génération PDF / export CSV ✅
Appel API tierce > 200 ms ✅
Traitement batch nocturne ✅
Lecture base de données triviale ❌

Cinq invariants non-négociables

  1. HTTP < 200 ms. Toute opération qui dépasse ce seuil doit être déportée.
  2. Idempotence obligatoire. Un message peut être rejoué — concevoir comme tel (idempotency keys, dedupe).
  3. Retry + Dead Letter Queue. 3 tentatives, backoff exponentiel + jitter. Au-delà → DLQ + alerte.
  4. Competing consumers. 4-8 workers en parallèle pour absorber les pics.
  5. Lifecycle tracking. Logs structurés, métriques (latence, taux erreur, DLQ depth) et alertes.

Frameworks recommandés

Stack Framework Notes
Symfony Symfony Messenger Transport AMQP, Redis, Doctrine ; supports Stamps
Laravel Laravel Queue (Horizon en prod) Backed by Redis ou SQS ; supervision native
PHP framework-agnostic Ecotone DDD, sagas, scheduler, messaging unifié
Node.js BullMQ ou RabbitMQ Redis-backed avec dashboard

Pattern minimal (Symfony Messenger)

// Message (immutable DTO)
final class SendWelcomeEmail
{
    public function __construct(public readonly string $userId) {}
}

// Handler
final class SendWelcomeEmailHandler
{
    public function __invoke(SendWelcomeEmail $message): void
    {
        // Idempotency check
        if ($this->emailLog->wasSent($message->userId, 'welcome')) {
            return;
        }
        $this->mailer->sendWelcome($message->userId);
        $this->emailLog->record($message->userId, 'welcome');
    }
}

// Dispatch (controller)
$this->bus->dispatch(new SendWelcomeEmail($user->id));

Anti-patterns critiques

  • ❌ Mettre une opération idempotente directement dans le handler sans clé d'idempotency (replay = double effet).
  • ❌ try { ... } catch (\Throwable) { /* swallow */ } dans un handler → le message est marqué traité alors qu'il a échoué.
  • ❌ Stocker la payload complète d'un email/PDF dans le message → préférer un ID + lookup, sinon RabbitMQ explose.
  • ❌ Pas de circuit breaker autour des appels tiers : un provider down fait monter la DLQ en flèche.

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.
