You can manage a JSON-based task queue by initializing the queue, adding tasks, listing them, and running a wake-up loop that processes items sequentially using jq for atomic JSON updates and the Claude CLI for the agent loop.

An autonomous task queue is a JSON-ordered list of coding tasks processed one by one in a wake-up loop. It updates task status sequentially and logs learnings to track progress throughout long-running sessions.

Yes, you need jq for atomic JSON updates to the task queue and the Claude CLI to run the agent loop, as both are required dependencies for orchestrating and processing tasks sequentially.

You initialize the task queue in your software project using project-specific scripts, then add coding tasks like implementing features or fixing bugs to the queue before starting the wake-up loop to process them automatically.

Yes, the task queue is designed for long-running software development sessions. The wake-up loop processes queued items automatically, ensuring orderly execution and continuous progress tracking even during extended autonomous coding operations.
