trigger.dev copilot-instructions.md

Repository instructions for Trigger.dev, a platform that runs background jobs, covering its TypeScript code, web app, database, testing style, and coding conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing application or package code, choosing browser-and-server compatible APIs, writing tests, or following the project's type and export conventions.
Why use it?
It helps keep changes consistent with the repository and avoids incompatible imports, runtime choices, and TypeScript patterns.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

trigger.dev copilot-instructions.md 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 yesterday.

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

This is the repo for Trigger.dev, a background jobs platform written in TypeScript. Our webapp at apps/webapp is a Remix 2.1 app that uses Node.js v20. Our SDK is an isomorphic TypeScript SDK at packages/trigger-sdk. Always prefer using isomorphic code like fetch, ReadableStream, etc. instead of Node.js specific code. Our tests are all vitest. We use prisma in internal-packages/database for our database interactions using PostgreSQL. For TypeScript, we usually use types over interfaces. We use zod a lot in packages/core and in the webapp. Avoid enums. Use strict mode. No default exports, use function declarations.

Changes

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.
