Read and write trigger.dev: list runs, check run status, trigger tasks, cancel runs, list schedules.

What it does

Triggerdev is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Read and write trigger.dev: list runs, check run status, trigger tasks, cancel runs, list schedules. Trigger phrases: trigger.dev, background jobs.

Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/triggerdev.py`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Background jobs. The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: trigger.dev
  • Background jobs

Example prompts

  • “/triggerdev”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. trigger and cancel are writes: confirm the task, payload, or run ID with the user before running, unless standing permission exists…
  2. Reading (runs, run, schedules) needs no confirmation.
  3. Runs are async: after trigger, poll run --id to watch the status move to COMPLETED or FAILED.
  4. Personal access tokens need a project reference: pass --project-ref with trigger when the stored credential is a personal access token…
  5. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Triggerdev loads about 616 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~616

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

trigger.dev

Purpose

Manage the user's trigger.dev background jobs: list runs, check a run's status and output, trigger task runs, cancel runs, and list schedules. Use when the user mentions trigger.dev or background jobs.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/triggerdev.py:

bash
bin/triggerdev.py auth                                     # verify the API key
bin/triggerdev.py runs --limit 25                          # list recent runs
bin/triggerdev.py run --id run_abc123                      # show one run's status and output
bin/triggerdev.py trigger --task my-task --payload-json '{"x":1}'  # trigger a task run
bin/triggerdev.py trigger --task my-task --payload-json '{}' --project-ref proj_abc123  # with a personal access token
bin/triggerdev.py cancel --run-id run_abc123               # cancel a run
bin/triggerdev.py schedules                                # list schedules

Auth

  • Provider id: triggerdev (credential is collected as custom.triggerdev)
  • Collection: API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); created in the trigger.dev dashboard under API keys, sent in the standard Authorization header.
  • Allowed hosts: api.trigger.dev
  • Status check: bin/triggerdev.py auth (must return "ok": true)

Operating Rules

  1. trigger and cancel are writes: confirm the task, payload, or run ID with the user before running, unless standing permission exists. Triggering a task starts real compute that can cost money.
  2. Reading (runs, run, schedules) needs no confirmation.
  3. Runs are async: after trigger, poll run --id to watch the status move to COMPLETED or FAILED.
  4. Personal access tokens need a project reference: pass --project-ref with trigger when the stored credential is a personal access token rather than a project API key.
  5. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.
