★ 29A skill package that teaches your agent 6 capabilities — every one documented and browsable below, no GitHub required · by triggerdotdev.
Each skill below is one capability this package teaches your agent. Install the whole package, or open a skill to install just that one.
AI agent patterns with Trigger.dev - orchestration, parallelization, routing, evaluator-optimizer, and human-in-the-loop. Use when building LLM-powered tasks that need parallel workers, approval gates, tool calling, or multi-step agent workflows.
Configure Trigger.dev projects with trigger.config.ts. Use when setting up build extensions for Prisma, Playwright, FFmpeg, Python, or customizing deployment settings.
Analyze Trigger.dev tasks, schedules, and runs for cost optimization opportunities. Use when asked to reduce spend, optimize costs, audit usage, right-size machines, or review task efficiency. Requires Trigger.dev MCP tools for run analysis.
Subscribe to Trigger.dev task runs in real-time from frontend and backend. Use when building progress indicators, live dashboards, streaming AI/LLM responses, or React components that display task status.
Set up Trigger.dev in your project. Use when adding Trigger.dev for the first time, creating trigger.config.ts, or initializing the trigger directory.
Build AI agents, workflows and durable background tasks with Trigger.dev. Use when creating tasks, triggering jobs, handling retries, scheduling cron jobs, or implementing queues and concurrency control.

trigger-setup
Use when getting started with Trigger.dev:
- Installing the SDK
- Running
npx trigger init - Creating trigger.config.ts
- Project structure
- First task walkthrough
- Environment variables
trigger-tasks
Use when creating background jobs, async workflows, or scheduled tasks. Core patterns for building durable tasks:
- Basic and schema-validated tasks
- Triggering tasks (single, batch, with wait)
- Waits and checkpointing
- Concurrency and queues
- Debouncing and idempotency
- Error handling and retries
- Scheduled tasks (cron)
- Metadata and progress tracking
trigger-config
Use when setting up trigger.config.ts or adding build extensions:
- Build extensions (Prisma, Playwright, FFmpeg, Python)
- System packages and additional files
- Environment variable sync
- Telemetry integration
- Global lifecycle hooks
trigger-agents
Use when building LLM-powered workflows, orchestration, or multi-step AI agents:
- Prompt chaining with validation gates
- Routing (classify → dispatch)
- Parallelization with batch operations
- Orchestrator-workers (fan-out/fan-in)
- Evaluator-optimizer loops
- Human-in-the-loop with waitpoints
trigger-realtime
Use when subscribing to task runs in real-time from frontend or backend:
- Progress indicators and live dashboards
- React hooks for triggering and monitoring tasks
- Streaming AI/LLM responses to UI
- Wait tokens for human-in-the-loop workflows
trigger-cost-savings
Use when analyzing tasks and runs for cost optimization. Requires Trigger.dev MCP tools for run analysis:
- Right-sizing machine presets
- Identifying excessive retries and missing abort conditions
- Finding missing debounce, idempotency, and maxDuration
- Detecting polling loops that should use waitpoints
- Analyzing run data for high-cost tasks and failure patterns
- Schedule frequency review
Install MCP tools: npx trigger.dev@latest install-mcp
What is Trigger.dev?
Trigger.dev is a durable execution platform for AI agents, workflows and background tasks. Long-running TypeScript functions with automatic retries, queuing, and real-time observability.
Key features:
- Durable execution — Tasks survive restarts and scale automatically
- Automatic retries — Exponential backoff with configurable retry policies
- Concurrency control — Queues and rate limiting built-in
- Long waits — Tasks can wait for up to a year
- Real-time — Subscribe to task progress from anywhere
- Multi-environment — Dev, staging, and production from one dashboard
- No infrastructure to manage — our cloud product is fully managed
- Open-source — The platform can also be self-hosted on your own infrastructure
