SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill identifies durability gaps in existing TypeScript and JavaScript applications, helping developers migrate fragile background tasks, webhooks, and cron jobs into reliable, event-driven Inngest workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

Durability Gap Analysis: Automatically scans for fire-and-forget promises, unreliable polling loops, and non-durable background work.
Incremental Integration Planning: Generates a safe, step-by-step migration plan that preserves existing application behavior while introducing Inngest primitives.
Use Case: Use this skill to audit a legacy Express or Next.js application to identify where background email processing or third-party webhooks are failing, then implement a robust Inngest-based retry strategy.

Quick Start

Use the inngest-brownfield-audit skill to scan this repository for durability gaps and propose an incremental integration plan.

FAQPage Schema

How do I find durability gaps in background tasks and webhooks?▼

Migrating fragile cron jobs to event-driven workflows involves scanning your JavaScript codebase for non-durable background work and generating an incremental integration plan. This approach introduces reliable primitives while preserving existing application behavior.

What is the best way to audit legacy Express apps for failing background processing?▼

Auditing legacy Express apps for failing background processing targets framework-specific route handlers and queue systems to identify durability gaps. It proposes a safe, step-by-step migration plan to implement robust retry strategies using event-driven architecture.

Can I incrementally integrate event-driven architecture without breaking existing app behavior?▼

Incrementally integrating event-driven architecture is possible by generating a safe migration plan that preserves existing application behavior. The process introduces new primitives gradually alongside detected side effects, ensuring continuous operation during refactoring.

Why do fire-and-forget promises cause issues in TypeScript background jobs?▼

Fire-and-forget promises cause issues in TypeScript background jobs because they lack durability and retry mechanisms, leading to silent failures. Static analysis detects these gaps and proposes idempotent workflows to guarantee reliable execution.

Does this brownfield audit approach work with Next.js route handlers?▼

This brownfield audit works with Next.js route handlers by performing static analysis of your source code to map project structure. It detects existing side effects within framework-specific handlers to propose targeted event-driven refactoring.
