Create durable background tasks for AI agents with automatic retries, queuing, and scheduling. Designed for developers building reliable asynchronous workflows and integrations.
$ npx skills add https://github.com/triggerdotdev/skills --skill trigger-tasksTrigger.dev Tasks enable developers to build reliable asynchronous workflows and background jobs with automatic retry logic, queuing, and concurrency control. The skill supports task creation with input validation via Zod schemas, batch triggering, and inter-task communication through trigger-and-wait patterns. Built-in features include debouncing, idempotency, error handling, cron-based scheduling, and real-time progress tracking via metadata. This is essential for AI agents that need long-running execution, webhook processing, file uploads, or recurring scheduled work without blocking main applications.
