Use when adding durable execution to a TypeScript project — building retry-safe webhook handlers, background jobs that survive crashes, scheduled tasks, or long-running workflows that outlive a single request. Covers Inngest SDK installation, client config, environment variables, serve endpoints (Next.js, Express, Hono, Fastify), connect-as-worker mode, and the local dev server.

## From README

Inngest This skill sets up Inngest in a TypeScript project from scratch, covering , client configuration, connection modes, and local development. These skills are focused on TypeScript. For Python or Go, refer to the Inngest documentation for language-specific guidance. Core concepts apply across all languages. Prerequisites Node.js 18+ (Node.js 22.4+ recommended for WebSocket support) TypeScript project Package manager (npm, yarn, pnpm, or bun) Step 1: the Inngest SDK the inngest npm package in your project: Step 2: Create an Inngest Client Create a shared client file that you'll import throughout your codebase: Key Configuration Options id (required): Unique identifier for your app. Use a hyphenated slug like "my-app" or "user-service" eventKey: Event key for sending events (prefer INNGESTEVENTKEY env var) env: Environment name for Branch Environments isDev: Force Dev mode (true) or Cloud mode (false). v4 defaults to Cloud mode, so set INNGESTDEV=1 env var for local development.
