## Summary
Three improvements to the SDK-bundled agent skills (follow-up to the
skills installer):
- **`trigger-` namespace.** The installed skills (`authoring-tasks`,
`getting-started`, …) had generic names that collide with unrelated
skills in a shared agent skills directory. They're now prefixed —
`trigger-authoring-tasks`, `trigger-getting-started`, etc. — matching
the convention the public skills repo already uses.
- **New `trigger-cost-savings` skill.** An MCP-driven cost audit:
right-sizes machines, flags missing `maxDuration`, spots sequential
triggers that could batch, and reviews schedule frequency, using
`list_runs` / `get_run_details` for live analysis.
- **Bundle the full docs.** `@trigger.dev/sdk` now bundles the entire
"Documentation" section of the docs (157 pages) instead of a curated
55-page subset, so an agent has the complete, version-pinned reference
in `node_modules`.
## How the bundling works
`scripts/bundleSdkDocs.ts` now reads `docs/docs.json`, walks the
"Documentation" dropdown, and copies every page under it into the SDK.
The set tracks the docs navigation automatically — add a page to the nav
and it ships, no skill edits needed. The API reference and Guides &
examples dropdowns are intentionally excluded. A skill's `sources:`
frontmatter is now informational only.
The dropped idea of a dedicated `trigger-config` skill is replaced by
references to the bundled build-extension docs (`config/extensions/*`)
from the `trigger-authoring-tasks` config section and the chat-agent
skills.
## Summary
`@trigger.dev/sdk` now ships the Trigger.dev agent skills and a curated
snapshot of the docs those skills cite. The skills that `trigger skills`
installs into your coding agent are thin pointers that read this bundled
content from `node_modules`, so the guidance always matches the SDK
version installed in your project. Previously the full skill text was
copied into your repo at install time and went stale until you
reinstalled after an upgrade.
## How it works
The SDK's `files[]` now includes `skills/` (the full skill text) and
`docs/` (a curated snapshot generated at build time). The docs manifest
is derived from each skill's own `sources:` frontmatter, so a skill only
ships the docs it references, and a skill that cites a missing doc fails
the build.
The CLI installs thin skills whose body points the agent at
`node_modules/@trigger.dev/sdk/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` and
`node_modules/@trigger.dev/sdk/docs/`. They keep the high-value "Common
mistakes" anti-patterns inline so the trigger and the guardrails survive
even if the agent does not follow the pointer. `getting-started` stays
self-contained in the CLI because it runs before the SDK is installed.
