Starlight Queen Queue
Use a Starlight queue when one linear automation is the wrong shape and work needs bounded multi-agent execution with a synthesis owner.
Queue Job Contract
Every job needs:
- objective
- repo or workspace
- source context
- worker lanes
- allowed tools
- write scopes
- stop condition
- validation evidence
- risk gates
- handoff format
Lane Types
- Doctrine lane: decision rules, docs, memory.
- Build lane: code, repo, plugin, skill changes.
- Safety lane: secrets, private/public split, policy gates.
- Verification lane: tests, validation scripts, release checks.
- Synthesis lane: final decision and user handoff.
Safety Spine
- One coordinator owns the final risk call.
- Workers do not revert each other's changes.
- Public releases pass a private-memory and secret scan.
- Human approval is required for irreversible external actions.
- Payments and spend actions are verify-only unless the human explicitly approves.
Handoff Format
Return:
- swarm objective
- worker lanes
- context packet
- execution waves
- validation evidence
- risks
- next handoff
