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.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00154 | $0.00154 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00062 | $0.00062 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00031 | $0.00031 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
executing-commands 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 1mo 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
Almost all commands in the monorepo should be executed when pnpm run ... from the root of the monorepo. For example, running tests for the @internal/run-engine internal package:
pnpm run dev --filter webapp
But often, when running tests, it's better to cd into the directory and then run tests:
cd apps/webapp
pnpm run test --run
This way you can run for a single file easily:
cd internal-packages/run-engine
pnpm run test ./src/engine/tests/ttl.test.ts --run
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.

executing-commands is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository triggerdotdev/trigger.dev (16,549 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 154 tokens to every session, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
