Clawqueue Skill V6

Turn GitHub Issues into a local agent queue. GitHub issues in, agent work out.

ClawQueue (CQ)

GitHub issues in · agent work out

Turn GitHub Issues into a local agent queue. ClawQueue is a local, git-backed and issue-tracked multi-agent queue manager designed for seamless human-agent collaboration.

🌟 Core Value Proposition

ClawQueue replaces complex, centralized workflow orchestrators with a lightweight, git-native task queue. By using GitHub Issues and Project Boards as your control surface, you get full visibility, easy human-in-the-loop oversight, and standard Git auditing for free.

Why Local-First?

• No Agent Lock-In: Run your workers locally, in isolated Docker containers, or as native OpenClaw subagents.
• Standard Git Backing: Every action, attempt, and deliverable is logged, tracked, and stored in standard Markdown and Mermaid files.
• Zero Heavy Infra: You don't need a heavy database or complex API endpoints. All state is modeled natively using Git branches, commits, and GitHub project columns.

🏢 The ClawQueue Organization Ecosystem

The complete ClawQueue suite is organized into specialized repositories under the github.com/ClawQueue organization:

⚙️ ClawQueue/ClawQueue (Core)

The main Python-based scheduler, dispatcher, and worker runtime. It polls your target project boards, matches unassigned issues in active column states (like "Todo"), triggers matching worker roles (e.g., cto, cmo), manages execution attempts, and commits results.

📝 ClawQueue/ClawQueue-reports (The Worklog)

The standardized repository where completed task deliverables, automated reports, and execution artifacts live. Files are saved dynamically under boards/<board_name>/<slug>.md as structured Markdown files, ensuring your agent outputs are clean and public/private separated.

🐳 ClawQueue/openclaw-balena (Edge Deployment)

Shell scripts and container deployment configurations designed to run lightweight OpenClaw agent and node runtimes on balenaOS. Perfect for deploying resilient agent worker nodes on physical edge devices and gateways.

📖 ClawQueue/ClawQueue.github.io (Documentation)

The official open-source documentation site. Hosted via GitHub Pages at clawqueue.github.io/ClawQueue, it provides comprehensive guides, architecture overviews, and tutorials on starting your first dispatcher profile.

Common CLI Commands

Run these commands from your local ClawQueue repository root:

View Status and Active Workers

Show active tasks, current PID, remaining attempts per issue, recent dispatch decisions, and matching queued items:

bash

python3 scripts/status.py --profile <your-profile>

Diagnostics and Verification

Diagnose local profile settings and verify that your configured repository pointers, scheduler service environment, and secret parameters are mapped correctly:

bash

/cq diagnose

Trigger Scheduler Runs

Trigger an immediate evaluation/run of the queue to process pending dispatches:

bash

/cq run

Resume or Retry Tasks

Retry a failed issue after clearing its attempt counts, or resume paused tickets:

bash

/cq retry

Pause or Block

Temporarily pause task board scheduling or suspend dispatches:

bash

/cq pause
