- Full prompt management UI: list, detail, override, and version
management for AI prompts defined with `prompts.define()`
- Rich AI span inspectors for all AI SDK operations with token usage,
messages, and prompt context
- Real-time generation tracking with live polling and filtering
## Prompt management
Define prompts in your code with `prompts.define()`, then manage
versions and overrides from the dashboard without redeploying:
```typescript
import { task, prompts } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { z } from "zod";
const supportPrompt = prompts.define({
id: "customer-support",
model: "gpt-4o",
variables: z.object({
customerName: z.string(),
plan: z.string(),
issue: z.string(),
}),
content: `You are a support agent for Acme SaaS.
Customer: {{customerName}} ({{plan}} plan)
Issue: {{issue}}
Respond with empathy and precision.`,
});
export const supportTask = task({
id: "handle-support",
run: async (payload) => {
const resolved = await supportPrompt.resolve({
customerName: payload.name,
plan: payload.plan,
issue: payload.issue,
});
const result = await generateText({
model: openai(resolved.model ?? "gpt-4o"),
system: resolved.text,
prompt: payload.issue,
...resolved.toAISDKTelemetry(),
});
return { response: result.text };
},
});
```
The prompts list page shows each prompt with its current version, model,
override status, and a usage sparkline over the last 24 hours.
From the prompt detail page you can:
- **Create overrides** to change the prompt template or model without
redeploying. Overrides take priority over the deployed version when
`prompt.resolve()` is called.
- **Promote** any code-deployed version to be the current version
- **Browse generations** across all versions with infinite scroll and
live polling for new results
- **Filter** by version, model, operation type, and provider
- **View metrics** (total generations, avg tokens, avg cost, latency)
broken down by version
## AI span inspectors
Every AI SDK operation now gets a custom inspector in the run trace
view:
- **`ai.generateText` / `ai.streamText`** — Shows model, token usage,
cost, the full message thread (system prompt, user message, assistant
response), and linked prompt details
- **`ai.generateObject` / `ai.streamObject`** — Same as above plus the
JSON schema and structured output
- **`ai.toolCall`** — Shows tool name, call ID, and input arguments
- **`ai.embed`** — Shows model and the text being embedded
For generation spans linked to a prompt, a "Prompt" tab shows the prompt
metadata, the input variables passed to `resolve()`, and the template
content from the prompt version.
All AI span inspectors include a compact timestamp and duration header.
## Other improvements
- Resizable panel sizes now persist across page refreshes (patched
`@window-splitter/state` to fix snapshot restoration)
- Run page panels also persist their sizes
- Fixed `<div>` inside `<p>` DOM nesting warnings in span titles and
chat messages
- Added Operations and Providers filters to the AI metrics dashboard

* Downgrade to remix-auth-email-link to remove yarn dependency
* Turn off the pg listen service for now
* Add snapshot admin route
* A couple logger fixes
* Add ability to disable compression
* Add ability to disable SSE
* Fix SSE memory leak + DB load issue
* Implement manually invokable jobs through the invokeTrigger
Also implemented a job run notification system, that will POST details of a run on completion. This combines with the task callbackUrl system to implement the invokeAndWait
* Document the invoke trigger
* batch invoke and wait
* background fetch timeouts
* Use @whatwg-node/fetch instead of the polyfilled fetch
* Fix some outdated dependencies in webapp
* Improved subtask error propogation messages
* Document the OpenAI changes and the batch invoke stuff
* Fix dequeuing jobs
* Don’t retry the OpenAI completion background task
* Added OpenAI changesets
* Use the new ResumeTaskService in ProcessCallbackTimeout as well
* WIP job run performance improvements
- Added a `perf` tool to better measure job run performance under heavy load
- Removed `runFinished` job (not really needed)
- startQueuedRuns now uses a jobKey with replace
- Fixed an issue with ZodWorker when using jobKey
* Publish improvement docker images
* fixed the improvement docker publishing
* Downgrade back to prisma 4.16.0 because 5.1.x broke docker builds
* Changes to how queued runs work
- Split the worker into two different workers, one dedicated to performRunExecution
- Schedule performRunExecution in a single place, with a queue and using a round robin manually controlled concurrency
- Remove startQueuedRuns
- All runs are queued before they are started
- Setting the worker maxPoolSize to the same as the worker concurrency
- Starting to be able to split the docker image
* Remove queue name from startRun graphile job
* Make the prisma connection pool stuff configurable through env vars
* Hardcode (for now) the max concurrent runs limit
* Rewrite performRunExecution to be more performant
PerformRunExecutionV2:
- Does not create and manage jobRunExecution records
- Does not reimplement retrying, uses graphile worker retrying instead
I’ve kept around PerformRunExecutionV1 so this works when deploying. Definitely needs LOTS of testing
* Fix issues with cached tasks
- Limit the size of the cached tasks sent when executing a run, using the knapsack problem dynamic programming approach

* Remove queued round robin thing that isn’t used anymore
* Added slack to job catalog
* Better forwards compat
* Added long delay
* Fixed lock file
* Changeset should ignore the example projects
* Removed note in Contributing instructions about not adding a changeset for internal
