# CommandKit Queue Plugin

## Activation guidance

Use for decoupled async communication between bot components/services.

## Required filesystem expectations

- queue bootstrap module (for example `src/bootstrap/queue.ts`)
- producers/consumers in command/event/service layers
- shared payload type module for typed contracts

## Execution workflow

1. Register queue driver once at startup.
2. Define topic naming and payload contracts.
3. Implement send/receive handlers with error strategy.
4. Ensure idempotent consumption behavior.

## Guardrails

- Avoid unstructured payloads.
- Avoid side-effect-heavy consumers without retry/idempotency
  planning.
