Jobs Development (Redis + Horizon)

Applicability (check first)

• If the project ships its own .ai/skills/jobs-development/, defer to that copy.
• The core rules (idempotence, thin jobs, timeouts, retry_after > timeout) apply to every project running Redis + Horizon.
• Queue names and supervisors vary by project age. Current sprintify has default / long / extra-long; older forks have other sets (e.g. default / parallel / long). Always read config/horizon.php and config/queue.php to learn the project's actual queues before routing a job — never assume a queue name from this skill exists.
• after_commit may not be set on older forks: verify it on the connection instead of assuming; if it's off, flag it to the user (or dispatch with ->afterCommit() explicitly).

When to Activate

• Activate when creating, editing, or dispatching a queued job (any class implementing ShouldQueue).
• Activate when code uses dispatch(), Bus::, ->onQueue(...), ShouldBeUnique, or ShouldBeUniqueUntilProcessing.
• Activate when configuring config/queue.php, config/horizon.php, or adding a new Horizon supervisor.
• Activate when the user mentions jobs, queues, workers, Horizon, retries, or timeouts.
