Overview

Sims-inspired task scheduling: queue actions, execute in order. While return-stack tracks where you've been, action-queue tracks what you're going to do.

Quick Commands

Command	Effect
DO action	Add to queue
NEXT	Execute next
QUEUE	Show queue
URGENT action	Insert at front
CANCEL n	Remove item
CLEAR	Empty queue

The Food Chain Pattern

Objects push prerequisites onto the queue automatically:

> DO eat
→ Fridge pushes GET-FOOD
→ Food pushes PREPARE
→ Stove pushes COOK
Queue: [COOK, PREPARE, GET-FOOD, EAT]

Dangling a carrot in front of a donkey. Complex sequences emerge from simple object rules.

Tools Required

• file_read — Read queue state
• file_write — Update queue state
