Personal repo gets a merge queue built on GitHub Actions

What the research found

The author built a small GitHub Actions merge queue for personal repo Spool because GitHub's native merge queue is limited to organization-owned or enterprise repos, with the queue triggered by a label plus auto-merge.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

1. GitHub native merge queue is available only for organization-owned repos or enterprise cloud private org repos 94%
2. The author built Spool, a Claude Code loop tool, and needed a merge queue for a personal repo 98%
3. The custom queue triggers when a PR has a queue label and auto-merge enabled 98%
4. The queue rebases each PR onto the exact base inside the CI runner before running checks 99%
