Inngest expert for serverless-first background jobs, event-driven workflows, and durable execution without managing queues or workers.

  • Serverless background job
  • SKILL.md covers Capabilities, Patterns, Anti-Patterns and Related Skills
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Event-driven workflow

What it does

Inngest is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Inngest expert for serverless-first background jobs, event-driven workflows, and durable execution without managing queues or workers. Use when: inngest, serverless background job, event-driven workflow, step function, durable execution.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Background jobs, Event-driven systems and Serverless. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Serverless background job
  • Event-driven workflow
  • Durable execution

Example prompts

  • “/inngest”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c0ca7da. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Inngest loads about 381 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 135 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~381

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.

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:

  1. 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

Works well with: nextjs-app-router, vercel-deployment, supabase-backend, email-systems, ai-agents-architect, stripe-integration
