Local Merge Queue Released for Parallel Claude Code Agents
Key points
- Serializes code landings for parallel Claude Code agents.
- Prevents push races, redundant builds, and test flakiness.
- Runs locally, offering a zero-cost alternative to cloud-based solutions.
- Enforces pre-push checks and provides an emergency override.
Introduction of Local Merge Queue
A new local, zero-cost merge queue has been introduced for parallel Claude Code agents. This tool serializes the process of agents landing, building, and testing code. Its purpose is to prevent common development issues such as push races, redundant heavy builds, and flakiness in shared-resource tests.
Functionality and Configuration
The merge queue operates by ensuring that code changes are processed sequentially, even when multiple agents are working in parallel. It includes a configuration file (claude-code-merge-queue.config.mjs) that allows users to define parameters such as branch prefixes, worktree suffixes, port assignments, integration and production branches, and protected branches. The configuration also specifies files that can be regenerated and directories for build output.
Pre-Push Enforcement and Checks
A pre-push Git hook is integrated to make code landing non-optional. Direct pushes to the integration branch are rejected, and users are prompted with the correct command to use the merge queue. The hook also runs a specified check command before allowing a landing, ensuring that all defined checks pass. If no check command is configured, all pushes will fail by default, though an emergency override mechanism is available for specific branches.
Integration and Benefits
The tool integrates by creating or appending to .CLAUDE.md, .claude/settings.json, and .husky/pre-push files. This setup allows Claude Code to automatically land its work upon successful completion of checks. The primary benefit is to maintain a clean commit history and ensure code quality by enforcing testing before merging, all while operating locally without incurring cloud costs.

A local, zero-cost merge queue has been released for parallel Claude Code agents, serializing code landings to prevent push races, redundant builds, and shared-resource test flakiness. This tool allows multiple agents to land, build, and test code concurrently while maintaining a clean history and ensuring tests pass before merging.
