sidebarTitle Agent rules
Agent rules are now **agent skills**. The standalone rule files have been replaced by skills that work across every major AI assistant from a single install. See [Skills](/skills).

What changed

Trigger.dev used to install per-tool rule files (.cursor/rules/trigger.*.mdc, regions in CLAUDE.md, and so on) fetched from GitHub. That has been replaced by agent skills: SKILL.md directories in the open Agent Skills standard that ship inside the CLI, versioned with it, and load on demand instead of always sitting in your context.

The install command is the same, and now installs skills:

npx trigger.dev@latest skills

npx trigger.dev@latest install-rules still works as an alias, and trigger dev offers to install the skills on first run.

The old task and realtime guidance now lives in the authoring-tasks and realtime-and-frontend skills, alongside two new skills for building chat.agent AI agents. See Skills for the full list and supported assistants.

Next steps

Install Trigger.dev agent skills into your AI coding assistant. Give your AI assistant direct access to Trigger.dev tools and APIs. See how skills and the MCP server compare. Learn the task patterns that skills teach your AI assistant.
