Queue State Diff#

Use this skill to answer: what changed, what disappeared, and what got worse?

Workflow#

1. Gather two comparable snapshots: before/after JSON, report JSON, or JSONL-derived exports.
2. Normalize them before reasoning; prefer deterministic diff over freehand comparison.
3. Run scripts/queue_state_diff.js for raw comparison.
4. Interpret the diff in terms of operational meaning: regressions, recoveries, or noise.

Script#

bash

node skills/queue-state-diff/scripts/queue_state_diff.js \
  --before out/report-before.json \
  --after out/report-after.json \
  --out out/queue-state-diff.md

Guardrails#

• Compare like with like; do not diff unrelated report formats.
• Separate numeric drift from referential drift.
• Call out missing keys explicitly instead of treating them as zero.
