## What it 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`.

## When to use it
- Build background jobs with Inngest
- Split a long-running process into checkpointed steps
- Handle errors across parallel workflow branches
- Schedule functions to run at set times
- Control concurrent workflow execution

## Example prompts
- Design an Inngest background job for my application.
- Break the user onboarding flow into steps and handle failures.
- Create a scheduled Inngest function and account for concurrency limits.
