attac-t Skill: Craft Job
"Jobs are just another way of exposing business functionality to the outside world."
The Standard
- Application Layer: Jobs belong in App, not Domain. Like controllers.
- Delegate to Actions: Business logic lives in Actions. Jobs orchestrate.
- Queue Configuration: Jobs manage retries, delays, chaining—workflow, not logic.
- Prefer Queueable Actions: For simple cases, skip the job class entirely.
The Anti-Patterns
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do | Why |
|---|---|---|
Business logic in handle() |
Call Action->execute() |
Jobs aren't domain code |
| One job per action | Action::onQueue()->execute() |
Eliminates boilerplate |
| Complex job chains | Orchestrator action | Testable, debuggable |
| Domain namespace | App\Jobs namespace | Respects layer boundary |
