trigger-setup
trigger-setup is an agent skill published by triggerdotdev, listed under writing code. It lives in the triggerdotdev/skills repository, which has 35 GitHub stars; we last read it on 2026-10-20.
Bootstrap Trigger.dev into an existing project by authenticating the CLI, installing necessary packages, configuring trigger.config.ts, and setting up the initial task. This process is triggered when a user requests to set up Trigger.dev and the project lacks a trigger.config.ts file.
Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads triggerdotdev/skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.
npx skills add triggerdotdev/skills
Maintenance
Bootstrap Trigger.dev into an existing project from scratch: authenticate the CLI, install @trigger.dev/sdk and @trigger.dev/build, write trigger.config.ts with the project ref and task dirs, scaffold a /trigger directory with a first task, wire tsconfig and .gitignore, set TRIGGER_SECRET_KEY, and run the dev server. Load this when a project has no trigger.config.ts yet and the user asks to "add Trigger.dev", "set up Trigger.dev", "initialize Trigger.dev", or get a first task running, including in a monorepo. Once the project is set up and you are writing task code, switch to the trigger-tasks skill.
