inngest

SKILL.md

Serverless background jobs and event-driven workflows with durable step-based execution.

Provides Inngest functions with typed events, multi-step workflows, and scheduled/cron execution without managing queues or worker infrastructure

Each step acts as a checkpoint that survives failures, enabling long-running pipelines (minutes to days) with built-in durability

Supports fan-out patterns, concurrency control, and durable sleep for complex event-driven systems processing millions of events

Works seamlessly with Next.js, Vercel, Supabase, email systems, and Stripe integrations

Inngest Integration

Inngest expert for serverless-first background jobs, event-driven workflows,
and durable execution without managing queues or workers.

Principles

Events are the primitive - everything triggers from events, not queues

Steps are your checkpoints - each step result is durably stored

Sleep is not a hack - Inngest sleeps are real, not blocking threads

Retries are automatic - but you control the policy

Functions are just HTTP handlers - deploy anywhere that serves HTTP

Concurrency is a first-class concern - protect downstream services

Idempotency keys prevent duplicates - use them for critical operations

Fan-out is built-in - one event can trigger many functions
