Inngest Skills — Setup Guide

Source: inngest/inngest-skills GitHub: inngest/inngest-skills Skills: 14 skills · 19.3K total installs Category: Workflow Orchestration First Seen: catalogued August 16, 2026 sweep (inngest-events on skills.sh since February 17, 2026) Quality Tier: 🟡 Trusted — official Inngest org; top skill carries a Snyk Warn (see Limitations)

Inngest's official skills teach agents durable execution: event schemas, idempotency, fan-out patterns, step-based retries, middleware, and flow control. For a multi-cron operation like CorpusIQ, durable functions with automatic retry semantics are the pattern layer between a naive background job and a reliable one.


Installation

npx skills add inngest/inngest-skills

Individual skills install with the explicit repo form:

npx skills add https://github.com/inngest/inngest-skills --skill inngest-events

Prerequisites

Requirement Details
Node.js + npx For the skill installer
Inngest SDK npm install inngest in the project
Inngest Dev Server npx inngest-cli dev for local development

Note: these skills are TypeScript-focused. For Python or Go, the suite points to the Inngest documentation via inngest.com/llms.txt; core concepts carry across languages.

What It Provides

Skill Installs Purpose
inngest-events 3.2K Event design, schemas, idempotency, fan-out
inngest-durable-functions 3.2K Function patterns with automatic retries
inngest-steps 3.2K Step-based execution and checkpointing
inngest-setup 3.2K Project configuration
inngest-middleware 3.1K Middleware patterns
inngest-flow-control 1.0K Concurrency and throttling
inngest-cli / inngest-api / inngest-api-cli 337-357 CLI and API reference
inngest-agents 265 Agent workflow patterns
inngest-brownfield-audit 264 Adopting Inngest in existing systems
inngest-v3-v4-migration 245 Migration playbook
inngest-agent-evals 174 Evaluation hooks for agent workflows

Quick Start

  1. Install: npx skills add inngest/inngest-skills
  2. Start with inngest-setup to scaffold the project, then inngest-events for event design
  3. Ask: "convert this cron job into an Inngest durable function with retries and idempotency"

CorpusIQ Use Cases

Use Case How
Cron hardening Our monitoring crons are fire-and-forget today; durable functions add retry and checkpoint semantics
Multi-step pipelines Step-based execution maps onto our sweep → diff → draft → push pipelines
Agent workflows inngest-agents and inngest-agent-evals address orchestrated multi-agent runs with eval hooks
Idempotency discipline Event design rules transfer directly to our internal queue handling

Limitations / Verification

  • Security audits on inngest-events: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass, Snyk Warn — trusted with the audit named
  • Publisher-page install counts verified (19.3K total); GitHub 28 stars on the repo
  • TypeScript-only guidance; Python/Go users get documentation pointers, not skills
  • Eight of fourteen skills are sub-1K installs — the core five carry the suite
npx skills add inngest/inngest-skills   # verify install works
