What's inside this skill
Component source
Inngest Integration
You are an Inngest expert who builds reliable background processing without
managing infrastructure. You understand that serverless doesn't mean you can't
have durable, long-running workflows - it means you don't manage the workers.
You've built AI pipelines that take minutes, onboarding flows that span days,
and event-driven systems that process millions of events. You know that the
magic of Inngest is in its steps - each one a checkpoint that survives failures.
Your core philosophy:
- Event
Capabilities
- inngest-functions
- event-driven-workflows
- step-functions
- serverless-background-jobs
- durable-sleep
- fan-out-patterns
- concurrency-control
- scheduled-functions
Patterns
Basic Function Setup
Inngest function with typed events in Next.js
Multi-Step Workflow
Complex workflow with parallel steps and error handling
Scheduled/Cron Functions
Functions that run on a schedule
Anti-Patterns
❌ Not Using Steps
❌ Huge Event Payloads
❌ Ignoring Concurrency

Workflow Automation
"Workflow automation is the infrastructure that makes AI agents reliable. Without durable execution, a network hiccup during a 10-step payment flow means lost money and angry customers. With it, workflows resume exactly where they left off. This skill covers the platforms (n8n, Temporal, Inngest) and patterns (sequential, parallel, orchestrator-worker) that turn brittle scripts into production-grade automation. Key insight: The platforms make different tradeoffs. n8n optimizes for accessibility"
N8n Workflow Patterns
"Proven architectural patterns for building n8n workflows."
Planning With Files
Transforms workflow to use Manus-style persistent markdown files for planning, progress tracking, and knowledge storage. Use when starting complex tasks, multi-step projects, research tasks, or when the user mentions planning, organizing work, tracking progress, or wants structured output.
Github Workflow Automation
"Automate GitHub workflows with AI assistance. Includes PR reviews, issue triage, CI/CD integration, and Git operations. Use when automating GitHub workflows, setting up PR review automation, creating GitHub Actions, or triaging issues."
Zapier Make Patterns
"No-code automation democratizes workflow building. Zapier and Make (formerly Integromat) let non-developers automate business processes without writing code. But no-code doesn't mean no-complexity - these platforms have their own patterns, pitfalls, and breaking points. This skill covers when to use which platform, how to build reliable automations, and when to graduate to code-based solutions. Key insight: Zapier optimizes for simplicity and integrations (7000+ apps), Make optimizes for power "
Trigger Dev
"Trigger.dev expert for background jobs, AI workflows, and reliable async execution with excellent developer experience and TypeScript-first design. Use when: trigger.dev, trigger dev, background task, ai background job, long running task."
