SKILL.md

TypeScript-first background jobs and AI workflows with built-in integrations and reliable async execution.

Supports eight core capability areas: tasks, AI jobs, integrations, scheduled triggers, webhooks, long-running operations, queues, and batch processing

Includes built-in integrations (OpenAI, Stripe, email systems) with automatic retries and idempotency handling for reliable execution

Designed for Next.js projects with TypeScript-first API; handles everything from simple scheduled tasks to multi-minute AI pipelines and million-record batch jobs

Critical configuration requirements: explicit timeouts, plain object payloads, environment variable syncing, and trigger.config.ts at project root to avoid silent failures

Trigger.dev Integration

Trigger.dev expert for background jobs, AI workflows, and reliable async
execution with excellent developer experience and TypeScript-first design.

Principles

Tasks are the building blocks - each task is independently retryable

Runs are durable - state survives crashes and restarts

Integrations are first-class - use built-in API wrappers for reliability

Logs are your debugging lifeline - log liberally in tasks

Concurrency protects your resources - always set limits

Delays and schedules are built-in - no external cron needed

AI-ready by design - long-running AI tasks just work

Local development matches production - use the CLI
