Data Storage

All data stored locally in ~/.local/share/queue/:

• add.log — added items
• plan.log — planned tasks
• track.log — tracking events
• history.log — full operation history
• Exported files saved to current directory

Requirements

• bash 4+
• Standard coreutils (grep, wc, du, sort, head, tail)

When to Use

• Adding tasks to a processing queue with priority levels
• Tracking progress on multiple concurrent jobs
• Running weekly reviews to assess throughput and bottlenecks
• Tagging and categorizing queue items for filtering
• Archiving completed work and generating reports

Examples

bash

# Add a new item to the queue
queue add "Process incoming data files"

# Plan a scheduled task
queue plan "Deploy v2.0 to staging"

# Track progress on an item
queue track ITEM-001

# Set priority
queue prioritize ITEM-001 high

# Tag for categorization
queue tag ITEM-001 deployment

# Run weekly review
queue weekly-review

# Export queue data
queue export json

# Show recent activity
queue recent 15

Tips

• Use prioritize to bubble urgent items to the top
• weekly-review gives a throughput summary with trends
• tag items to filter by category in search
• archive completed items to keep the active queue clean
• streak tracks how many consecutive days you processed items
