What problem does it solve? Building reliable background jobs and async workflows requires handling retries, idempotency, concurrency, and scheduling correctly, and mistakes in these areas cause duplicate payments, lost jobs, or broken deployments. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Task Authoring: Create basic and schema-validated tasks using @trigger.dev/sdk with retry policies, machine presets, and structured logging. - Workflow Orchestration: Compose parent/child subtasks, batch triggers up to 1,000 items, debounce rapid triggers, and enforce idempotency keys for critical operations. - Scheduling & Realtime: Define cron-based scheduled tasks with timezone support and subscribe to run status or stream AI output into React frontends. - Use Case: Imagine you need to process uploaded videos with FFmpeg on a schedule and stream progress to a dashboard. This Skill guides you through configuring the FFmpeg build extension, writing the task with retries, and wiring realtime subscriptions. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a Trigger.dev schema task with Zod validation, retry configuration, and an idempotency key for processing a specific payload.
