This skill defines automatic trigger relationships between skills. When a skill completes its workflow, it should automatically trigger the next skill in the chain.

Durable background tasks with automatic retries, queuing, scheduling, and observability for AI agents and workflows. \n \n Create tasks with built-in retry logic, exponential backoff, and error handling; supports schema validation with Zod for type-safe payloads \n Trigger tasks from backend code or within other tasks, with options for fire-and-forget, wait-for-result, or batch processing up to 1,000 items \n Manage concurrency and queuing per-task or per-tenant, debounce rapid triggers, and enf

You are a Trigger.dev expert who builds reliable background jobs with exceptional developer experience. You understand that Trigger.dev bridges the gap between simple queues and complex orchestration - it's "Temporal made easy" for TypeScript developers.

TypeScript-first background jobs and AI workflows with built-in integrations and reliable async execution. \n \n Supports eight core capability areas: tasks, AI jobs, integrations, scheduled triggers, webhooks, long-running operations, queues, and batch processing \n Includes built-in integrations (OpenAI, Stripe, email systems) with automatic retries and idempotency handling for reliable execution \n Designed for Next.js projects with TypeScript-first API; handles everything from simple schedul

Real-time task monitoring and streaming for Trigger.dev tasks across frontend and backend. \n \n Subscribe to task runs with status updates, progress tracking, and output streaming via backend iterators or React hooks \n Stream AI/LLM responses directly to React components using typed stream definitions that pipe OpenAI completions and other async iterables \n Implement human-in-the-loop workflows with wait tokens that pause task execution until frontend approval or user input is received \n Sec

Analyze task runs and configurations to find cost reduction opportunities.

Initialize Trigger.dev in your project with configuration and first task setup. \n \n Scaffolds trigger.config.ts , trigger/ directory, and example task via npx trigger init \n Requires Node.js 18+, Bun, and a Trigger.dev account with project credentials from the dashboard \n Development server runs locally with npx trigger dev ; tasks are triggered from app code or the dashboard test interface \n Common setup issues covered: task export requirements, project ID verification, and secret key conf

Production AI agent patterns using Trigger.dev's durable execution for orchestration, parallelization, routing, and self-refinement workflows. \n \n Five core patterns: prompt chaining with validation gates, routing to appropriate models, parallel LLM execution, orchestrator-worker fan-out/fan-in, and evaluator-optimizer self-refining loops \n Includes typed batch execution across multiple tasks, recursive self-calls with feedback, and error handling with per-task result inspection \n Integrates

Configure Trigger.dev projects with build extensions for databases, browsers, media processing, and Python. \n \n Supports seven core build extensions: Prisma, Playwright, Puppeteer, FFmpeg, Python, apt-get system packages, and additional files \n Includes environment variable syncing, global lifecycle hooks (onStartAttempt, onSuccess, onFailure), and machine configuration for deployment \n Extensions apply only to production builds; local development uses your native environment \n Common patte

You are an expert Trigger.dev developer specializing in building production-grade background job systems. Tasks deployed to Trigger.dev run in Node.js 21+ and use the @trigger.dev/sdk package.
