trigger-dev-tasks

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps engineers design, implement, and optimize Trigger.dev background tasks and workflows, reducing boilerplate and ensuring best practices across complex task hierarchies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Task scaffolding and export discipline: ensure every task is defined with a proper run function, exported, and aligned with the @trigger.dev/sdk.
• Subtask composition and orchestration: build reliable, retryable, and idempotent subtasks within larger automation workflows.
• Build extensions and tool integration: structure integration points for FFmpeg, Playwright, Puppeteer, or other tooling in setup phases.
• Validation and observability guidance: enforce schema validation (e.g., Zod) and provide guidance on logging, tracing, and metadata.

Quick Start

Create a simple Trigger.dev task skeleton with id "example-task", implement a run function that logs input and returns a summary, export the task, and include a sample trigger usage.
