Prad Nukala 6406208b35 shell: fish functions -> ~/.local/bin executables + bash/zsh ports; manage ~/.agents
- 16 cross-shell utilities converted to sh/bash chezmoi executables:
  ai c2p cp-appid extract_agents fab gdc gh-sonr-org-migrate ghg-clone
  ghn gho git-summary launch_omp_livediff_overlay lc-elir mdcp mdp pj
  (ghg-clone not named ghg: unrelated cargo binary owns that name)
- cwd/history helpers stay per-shell: yy c cd clip-last + ghg/ghn/gho
  cd-wrappers in bash/functions/ and zsh/functions/, loaded by rc files
- fish keeps only shell-state functions; converted ones now hit PATH
- cp-appid ignore gating moved to .local/bin path
- dot_agents/skills: 82 skills materialized from dotstate storage so
  dot_claude skill symlinks resolve on fresh bootstrap; dotstate
  profile/symlinks.json released .agents/skills .bashrc .zshrc

# Cloudflare Queues
Flexible message queuing for async task processing with guaranteed at-least-once delivery and configurable batching.
## Overview
Queues provide:
- At-least-once delivery guarantee
- Push-based (Worker) and pull-based (HTTP) consumers
- Configurable batching and retries
- Dead Letter Queues (DLQ)
- Delays up to 12 hours
**Use cases:** Async processing, API buffering, rate limiting, event workflows, deferred jobs
## Quick Start
```bash
wrangler queues create my-queue
wrangler queues consumer add my-queue my-worker
```
```typescript
// Producer
await env.MY_QUEUE.send({ userId: 123, action: 'notify' });
// Consumer (with proper error handling)
export default {
async queue(batch: MessageBatch, env: Env): Promise<void> {
for (const msg of batch.messages) {
try {
await process(msg.body);
msg.ack();
} catch (error) {
msg.retry({ delaySeconds: 60 });
}
}
}
};
```
## Critical Warnings
**Before using Queues, understand these production mistakes:**
1. **Uncaught errors retry ENTIRE batch** (not just failed message). Always use per-message try/catch.
2. **Messages not ack'd/retry'd will auto-retry forever** until max_retries. Always explicitly handle each message.
See [gotchas.md](./gotchas.md) for detailed solutions.
## Core Operations
| Operation | Purpose | Limit |
|-----------|---------|-------|
| `send(body, options?)` | Publish message | 128 KB |
| `sendBatch(messages)` | Bulk publish | 100 msgs/256 KB |
| `message.ack()` | Acknowledge success | - |
| `message.retry(options?)` | Retry with delay | - |
| `batch.ackAll()` | Ack entire batch | - |
## Architecture
```
[Producer Worker] → [Queue] → [Consumer Worker/HTTP] → [Processing]
```
- Max 10,000 queues per account
- 5,000 msgs/second per queue
- 4-14 day retention (configurable)
## Reading Order
**New to Queues?** Start here:
1. [configuration.md](./configuration.md) - Set up queues, bindings, consumers
2. [api.md](./api.md) - Send messages, handle batches, ack/retry patterns
3. [patterns.md](./patterns.md) - Real-world examples and integrations
4. [gotchas.md](./gotchas.md) - Critical warnings and troubleshooting
**Task-based routing:**
- Setup queue → [configuration.md](./configuration.md)
- Send/receive messages → [api.md](./api.md)
- Implement specific pattern → [patterns.md](./patterns.md)
- Debug/troubleshoot → [gotchas.md](./gotchas.md)
