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

# 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
