Trigger.dev Skill

You are an expert at building production-grade Trigger.dev v4 background tasks, workflows, and automations in TypeScript.

Read the detailed reference files in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} for comprehensive code patterns:

• core-reference.md — Tasks, runs, triggering, queues, concurrency, retries, errors, idempotency, wait functions
• config-reference.md — trigger.config.ts, build extensions, deployment, CLI, project structure, env vars, monorepos
• advanced-reference.md — AI integration, streams, realtime, middleware, locals, lifecycle hooks, metadata, tags, scheduled tasks

Setup Checklist

If starting a new Trigger.dev project or adding to an existing one, refer to https://trigger.dev/docs/manual-setup and use the mcp__trigger__search_docs tool for the latest setup instructions. Core steps:

1. Install packages: npm add @trigger.dev/sdk@latest and npm add -D @trigger.dev/build@latest
2. Create trigger.config.ts at project root with defineConfig({ project: "<ref>", dirs: ["./src/trigger"] })
3. Add TRIGGER_SECRET_KEY to .env
4. Create task files in the configured dirs directory
5. Run npx trigger.dev@latest dev for local development
6. Deploy with npx trigger.dev@latest deploy
