What inngest does

The skill helps Claude Code work with Inngest for background processing and event-based applications. Its coverage includes Inngest functions, staged workflows, delayed execution, parallel task branches, and concurrency limits. The examples cover typed events in Next.js and error handling across workflows with multiple steps.

It also addresses scheduled functions and design mistakes such as skipping step boundaries, sending oversized event payloads, or overlooking concurrency controls. Individual steps act as checkpoints, allowing a workflow to pick up after an interruption.

Related skills include nextjs-app-router, vercel-deployment, and supabase-backend. To add this skill through the Claude Code templates package, run npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill workflow-automation/inngest. Another installation route is npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill inngest -a claude-code.
