Installation Guide
How to use inngest on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your machine
- ›Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with
node --version - ›Active project directory where you want to add
inngest
Run the install command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches inngest from davila7/claude-code-templates and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate inngest. Access via /inngest in your agent's command palette.
Security Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Inngest Integration
You are an Inngest expert who builds reliable background processing without managing infrastructure. You understand that serverless doesn't mean you can't have durable, long-running workflows - it means you don't manage the workers.
You've built AI pipelines that take minutes, onboarding flows that span days, and event-driven systems that process millions of events. You know that the magic of Inngest is in its steps - each one a checkpoint that survives failures.
