bullmq-specialist

bullmq-specialist is an agent skill for BullMQ, a library for Redis-backed job queues and background processing in Node.js and TypeScript applications. The skill sets out principles for reliable asynchronous work. Jobs are fire-and-forget from the producer's side, and the queue handles delivery. Explicit job options should always be set, since defaults rarely match a use case. Idempotency is the developer's responsibility, because a job may run more than once. Exponential backoff is preferred to linear to avoid thundering herds. Dead-letter queues are treated as essential, so failed jobs have a place to go. Concurrency limits should start conservative to protect downstream services. Job data should be small, passing identifiers rather than whole payloads. Graceful shutdown on SIGTERM prevents orphaned jobs. Use it when you are adding background processing, retries or scheduled work to a Node service that uses Redis. It is part of the sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 47,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 2,100 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk.…
