Use when asked to reduce spend, optimize costs, audit usage, right-size machines, or review task efficiency. Combines static source analysis with live run analysis via the Trigger.dev MCP tools (list_runs, get_run_details, get_current_worker).\n"

Trigger.dev Cost Savings Analysis
The full, version-pinned cost-audit workflow ships inside your installed @trigger.dev/sdk. Read it before giving recommendations so they match the SDK version in this project:
- Skill:
node_modules/@trigger.dev/sdk/skills/trigger-cost-savings/SKILL.md— the static-analysis checklist, the MCP run-analysis steps (list_runs,get_run_details,get_current_worker), the report format, and the machine-preset cost table. - Docs: the canonical guidance is bundled at
node_modules/@trigger.dev/sdk/docs/how-to-reduce-your-spend.mdx, with supporting pages undernode_modules/@trigger.dev/sdk/docs/(machines.mdx,runs/max-duration.mdx,queue-concurrency.mdx,idempotency.mdx,triggering.mdx,errors-retrying.mdx).
If those paths don't exist, @trigger.dev/sdk isn't installed yet — install it first. In a non-hoisted layout, resolve the package with node -p "require.resolve('@trigger.dev/sdk/package.json')" and read skills/ + docs/ beside it.
Live run analysis needs the Trigger.dev MCP server (npx trigger.dev@latest install-mcp). Without it, do the static source analysis only — never fabricate run data.
Key principles
- Waits > 5 seconds are free — checkpointed, no compute charge.
- Start small, scale up — the default
small-1xis right for most tasks; right-size down tasks stuck onlarge-*with short durations. - I/O-bound tasks don't need big machines — API calls and DB queries wait on the network.
- Add
maxDuration— cap runaway compute. - Debounce high-frequency triggers — consolidate bursts into single runs.
- Idempotency keys prevent duplicate billed work.
AbortTaskRunErrorstops wasteful retries — don't pay to retry permanent failures.
