async-jobs

async-jobs is a skill for Claude Code from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 42 tokens per session (2,461 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of patterns for running work outside the main request, including background tasks, task queues, retries, scheduled jobs, and distributed execution.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps design Celery, ARQ, Redis, or Temporal workflows with task routing, retry rules, scheduling, monitoring, and result storage.
Why use it?
It helps applications handle slow or failure-prone work without making users wait for one request to finish.

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

async-jobs 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 yesterday.

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 — 217 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Async Jobs

Background task processing with Celery, ARQ, Redis and Temporal. This skill is a wrapper, not a manual: Celery and ARQ document their own product well, so what lives here is our delta, the thresholds, working config, ordering constraints and tool-choice rules we picked. Product mechanics are linked, not restated.

Start with Read("references/ork-delta.md").

Quick Reference

Topic Where our part lives
Configuration references/celery-config.md, rules/jobs-task-queue.md
Task Routing references/ork-delta.md (queue taxonomy, prefetch tiers, Redis priority)
Canvas Workflows rules/celery-canvas.md
Retry Strategies references/ork-delta.md (backoff cap, idempotency layers, lock TTLs)
Scheduling rules/jobs-scheduling.md, references/ork-delta.md (beat process model)
Monitoring references/ork-delta.md (alert thresholds, histogram buckets)
Result Backends rules/jobs-monitoring.md, references/ork-delta.md (return contract)
ARQ Patterns rules/jobs-task-queue.md, references/ork-delta.md (budgets, pool ownership)
Temporal Workflows rules/temporal-workflows.md
Temporal Activities rules/temporal-activities.md

10 topic areas, 6 rule files in rules/, house delta in references/ork-delta.md.

Quick Start

@app.task(bind=True, max_retries=3, default_retry_delay=60)
def process_payment(self, order_id: str):
    try:
        return gateway.charge(order_id)
    except TransientError as exc:
        raise self.retry(exc=exc, countdown=2 ** self.request.retries * 60)

Load more examples: Read("references/quick-start-examples.md") for Celery retry task and ARQ/FastAPI integration patterns.

Upstream coverage (do not restate)

Fetch these when you need product mechanics. The right-hand column is the part we keep, because it is a house threshold, a working config or an ordering constraint that upstream cannot know.

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.
