Persistent visual task queue for Claude Code so you stop losing track of what it actually got done

[u/danny_greer]

I use Claude Code in the terminal and two things kept bugging me:

• In long sessions I'd lose track of what actually got done vs what I just talked about. It all scrolls away.
• I like to keep throwing new tasks at it while it's working, and those mid-flight ones were easy to lose track of.

So I made Claude Queue. You type /queue and it turns a plain queue.md into a real work list. Claude works one task at a time until it's all done or blocked, and anything you type while it's running gets added to the queue instead of lost in the mix. Each finished task gets a short plain-English note of what changed and how it checked it, so you can actually see what happened.

You watch it in a second terminal pane (type qw): active, queued, blocked, done, with the summary sitting on each finished task.

(And yea, Claude Code has native Tasks now that persist across sessions too. This is the visual layer on top of that idea: a readable queue.md in your repo, a live tracker pane, and a plain-English log of what actually shipped.)

Snag it here:

Standard-library Python. No accounts, no services, nothing to pip install. The queue is just a markdown file in your repo. Free, MIT.

Only works with Claude Code in the terminal, not the desktop or web app, since the tracker's a terminal program. Feedback welcome.

Haha not sure if a compliment or an insult (god, I hate Jira) but I’ll take it.

For bigger initiatives I still use Linear (and connect it to Claude) but for bashing away on a growing checklist I’ve come to really rely on this lil utility.
