Inngest Agents

Use this skill when the user wants to build, migrate, or debug an AI agent, multi-step AI workflow, tool-calling loop, support agent, research agent, human-in-the-loop review flow, or realtime agent UI.

Inngest's AgentKit defines agents with createAgent; when an AgentKit run is owned by an Inngest function, model calls use Inngest step.ai so they retry and cache model results durably. Use the lower-level Inngest step primitives around the agent for database reads/writes, tool side effects, waits, approvals, realtime progress, and flow control.
