Pick or record work. Use when the user says find work, next, backlog, issues, Linear, what should I do, or hands a repo with no task. Not Claude-specific. Writes .emperor/queue.md. Wraps Dowsing, does not replace it.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Emperor Queue — pick the next piece of software **WIP=1** — one active task at a time. Do not start a second item while `[~]` exists; finish or `queue done` first. ## HARD-GATE — reject multi-WIP `queue next` already refuses promoting a second `[~]`, but agents who skip the script have no always-fail check. Before claiming parallel / multi-ready work: ```bash scripts/emperor queue --reject-multi-wip # always exit 1 (iron) scripts/emperor queue --check-wip # exit 1 when ledger has >1 [~] scripts/emperor queue --check-wip <queue.md> ``` `--check-wip` counts non-placeholder active `[~]` lines only. Zero or one active → PASS. Two or more → FAIL with `REJECT MULTI WIP`. ## Local Kanban statuses | Mark | Meaning | |------|---------| | `[ ]` | ready | | `[~]` | active (at most one) | | `[x]` | done | | `[!]` | blocked (optional; listed, never auto-picked) | Python core: `scripts/lib/queue.py` (thin `scripts/queue.sh` / `queue.ps1`). Always-fail `--reject-multi-wip` / `--check-wip` enforce WIP=1 on the ledger even when agents skip `next`. `queue list` shows ready / active / blocked (skips empty placeholders). `queue next` returns the existing …

How to install
mdr add arbi-elezi/emperor-time/emperor-queue@sha256:4b4a323b92159cf3The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.23, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
