Trigger SDK

Advanced and operational chat.agent capabilities for Trigger.dev, loaded on demand. Load this when working on the raw Sessions primitive (sessions / SessionHandle), a custom chat transport or the realtime wire protocol, durable sub-agents (AgentChat, chat.stream.writer), human-in-the-loop, steering, actions, background injection (chat.defer / chat.inject), fast starts (preload, Head Start via @trigger.dev/sdk/chat-server), context resilience (compaction, recovery boot, OOM, large payloads), chat.local run-scoped state, offline testing with mockChatAgent, or prerelease/version upgrades. For the everyday chat.agent({...}) definition and the useTriggerChatTransport happy path, use the trigger-authoring-chat-agent skill instead.

Author and run a durable AI chat agent with chat.agent from @trigger.dev/sdk/ai: the per-turn run loop, why you MUST spread ...chat.toStreamTextOptions() first, returning a StreamTextResult vs calling chat.pipe(), the two server actions (chat.createStartSessionAction + auth.createPublicToken), and wiring useChat to useTriggerChatTransport. Load this when building, modifying, or debugging a chat backend (the agent task or its lifecycle hooks) or its React transport, when declaring typed tools or custom data parts, or when migrating a plain AI SDK streamText route to chat.agent.
