What it does

A task queue for Claude Code: /after <task> runs a task once the current one is done, without steering it. A band above the prompt shows what runs now and next.

What you see: A queue band above the prompt, cards and an edit pane
Works in: Terminal and Claude Desktop
Slash commands: /after, /before
Uses your tokens: Haiku resolves /after text that may refer to queued tasks

How it works

/after and /before run at once, even mid-turn, and answer with a card of what changed.
Keeps queued task text out of what the model sees until that task's turn.
When a turn ends normally, submits the next queued task as your own message.
Shows the queue in a band above the prompt; bare /after opens it for keyboard edits.

Good to know

Needs Claude Code 2.1.289 or newer.
smart (on by default) sends the command and queued task texts to Haiku to resolve references.
Esc stops the running task, not the queue. /after pause holds the queue until /after resume.
