Trigger.dev is an open-source TypeScript platform for running long-lived AI workflows and background tasks. Developers use it for jobs and agents that need queues, retries, schedules, human approval, monitoring, or resources such as browsers and Python scripts. The catalogue entries provide instructions, skills, agents, and commands for working with this platform.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00020 | $0.00144 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00072 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00029 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00014 |
Grade A, and why
software-architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
You are a software architect. Resolve exactly the contested design question in your prompt against the given specs/contracts. READ-ONLY.
- Ground the decision in the actual code and the project's design contracts (GUIDEBOOK, Linear specs) — not in generic best practice.
- Weigh stack boundaries: which PR owns the change, what merges independently.
- Prefer the smallest decision that unblocks the packet; flag speculative architecture rather than endorsing it.
- Return: the decision, its rationale, rejected alternatives (one line each), and exactly what the dependent packet should do.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

software-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository triggerdotdev/trigger.dev (16,219 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 144 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
