Individual skill
inngest-nextjs-patterns
Inngest event-driven functions in a Next.js (App Router) project — creating the client, the /api/inngest route handler, typed events with Zod schemas, durable event-triggered functions, scheduled cron functions, or fan-out orchestrators. Trigger when scaffolding Inngest patterns — and even if the user just says "add a background job", "process this async", "schedule X every hour", or "send an event when Y happens" in a Next.js codebase. Also trigger when reviewing existing Inngest code to enforce event-naming, function-id stability, and step-idempotency conventions.

# Inngest + Next.js Patterns
Templates and conventions for building event-driven, durable background work on Inngest from a Next.js App Router project. The skill enforces the conventions Inngest's own docs use (decentralized `eventType()` schemas, kebab-case stable function IDs, idempotent steps) so that retries, replays, and concurrency controls actually do what they advertise.
## When to Apply
Read this skill when you are:
- Setting up Inngest in a Next.js app for the first time (client + route handler + first function)
- Adding a new background job, webhook handler, or scheduled task to a Next.js app
- Defining a new domain event that other functions will trigger on
- Orchestrating multi-step work that must survive process restarts (durable workflows, sagas)
- Reviewing existing Inngest code for event naming, step idempotency, or stable function IDs
- Migrating from `setTimeout` / a queue library / a cron service to Inngest's durable execution model
