inngest-setup
Use when adding durable execution to a TypeScript project — building retry-safe webhook handlers, background jobs that survive crashes, scheduled tasks, or long-running workflows that outlive a single request. Covers Inngest SDK installation, client config, environment variables, serve endpoints (Next.js, Express, Hono, Fastify), connect-as-worker mode, and the local dev server.

inngest-durable-functions
Use when building functions that must survive process crashes, retry automatically on failure, run on a schedule, react to events, or maintain state across infrastructure failures — e.g., webhook handlers that drop events, flaky cron jobs, background jobs that fail mid-execution, or workflows that need to resume where they left off. Covers Inngest function configuration, triggers (events, cron, invoke), step execution and memoization, idempotency, cancellation, error handling, retries, logging, and observability.

inngest-events
Use when designing event-driven workflows, decoupling services, implementing fan-out patterns (one trigger, many downstream handlers), implementing idempotent event handling with IDs (24-hour dedupe window), or handling at-least-once delivery from external sources like Stripe webhooks. Covers Inngest event schema, payload format, naming conventions, IDs for idempotency, the ts param, fan-out patterns, and system events like inngest/function.failed.

inngest-steps
Use when implementing delays that must survive process restarts (e.g., 24-hour cart abandonment, scheduled follow-ups), waiting for human approval or external events with timeouts (review gates, webhook callbacks, async API completion), polling external services without losing state on crashes, calling other functions and awaiting their results, memoizing expensive operations so they don't re-run on retry, or running async work in parallel inside a workflow. Covers Inngest step methods: step.run, step.sleep, step.waitForEvent, step.waitForSignal, step.sendEvent, step.invoke, step.ai, plus patterns for loops and parallel execution.

inngest-middleware
Use when adding cross-cutting concerns to durable functions — structured logging or tracing across all functions, error tracking with Sentry, payload encryption for sensitive data, dependency injection of clients (DB, Stripe, etc.) into function handlers, custom telemetry, or behavior that should apply uniformly across many functions. Covers Inngest middleware lifecycle, creating custom middleware, dependencyInjectionMiddleware, @inngest/middleware-encryption, @inngest/middleware-sentry, and custom middleware patterns.

skills/inngest-flow-control
--- name: inngest-flow-control description: Use when handling external API rate limits (e.g., OpenAI 429s, HubSpot or Stripe rate limits), preventing duplicate work from rapid event bursts (debouncing user actions), spreading load over time, ensuring per-tenant fairness, processing events in batches, limiting concurrent runs of the same operation, or assigning priority to important runs. Covers Inngest flow control: concurrency limits with keys, throttling, rate limiting, debounce, priority, sin

skills/inngest-realtime
--- name: inngest-realtime description: Use when streaming durable workflow updates to a UI in real time — live order status pages that animate as steps complete, AI agent token streaming from a function to the browser, log tailing for long-running jobs, or human-in-the-loop approval flows that publish a prompt and wait for a user reply. Covers Inngest v4 native realtime: defining typed channels, publishing from inside step.run, minting subscription tokens via server actions, and consuming the s
