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.

| 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¶
- Install:
npx skills add inngest/inngest-skills - Start with
inngest-setupto scaffold the project, theninngest-eventsfor event design - 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
