Removes the release-candidate framing from the docs for the 4.5 GA: the
`@rc` install caveats on the `skills` CLI command, and the AI Agents and
Prompts release-candidate banner (a shared snippet used across the
ai-chat and prompts pages) plus the `>=4.5.0-rc.0` compatibility pin in
the AI reference.
## Summary
The `skills` installer command (`npx trigger.dev@latest skills`) ships
in the release candidate but is not yet on the stable release, so
running it with `@latest` fails today. Adds a warning on each docs page
that shows the command, telling users to run it with the `@rc` tag until
it lands in `@latest`.
The commands themselves stay on `@latest`, so nothing needs reverting
once the next stable release ships, just the warnings.
Pages updated:
- `/skills`
- `/mcp-agent-rules`
- `/building-with-ai`
## 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
The agent skills' deep guidance now ships inside `@trigger.dev/sdk` and
is read from `node_modules`, so it tracks the `@trigger.dev/sdk` version
installed in your project automatically. This updates the Skills page,
the Building with AI step, and the rules-redirect page to drop the old
"pinned to the CLI version, re-run to refresh" framing and describe the
version-pinned reference instead.
Pairs with the SDK/CLI change in #3937. Keep this draft until that
ships, since it describes behavior that is not released yet.
## Summary
Updates the AI-tooling docs for the new `trigger skills` installer that
shipped in #3868. The Skills page now documents `trigger skills` (skills
bundled with the CLI, version-matched to your SDK) and the four bundled
skills: `authoring-tasks`, `realtime-and-frontend`,
`authoring-chat-agent`, `chat-agent-advanced`. The old Agent Rules page
becomes a short "rules are now skills" redirect (kept because existing
redirects and the CLI link point at it), and the Building with AI
overview collapses the three-way Skills/Rules/MCP comparison into Skills
vs MCP.
Hold until the v4.5 CLI release ships, since `trigger skills` is not on
npm until then.
This pull request overhauls the "Building with AI" documentation
section. It includes a comprehensive restructuring of the main
building-with-ai page with new setup guides and troubleshooting
sections, reorganizes the navigation hierarchy to elevate
mcp-agent-rules as a top-level page, and updates multiple documentation
pages to clarify the relationships between three AI tools: Skills, Agent
Rules, and MCP Server. Changes also include formatting improvements,
such as replacing italicized text with inline code formatting, and
consistent additions of explanatory Note blocks and CardGroup components
across related pages.
