The skill

Bootstrap Trigger.dev into an existing project from scratch: authenticate the CLI, install @trigger.dev/sdk and @trigger.dev/build, write trigger.config.ts with the project ref and task dirs, scaffold a /trigger directory with a first task, wire tsconfig and .gitignore, set TRIGGER_SECRET_KEY, and run the dev server. Load this when a project has no trigger.config.ts yet and the user asks to "add Trigger.dev", "set up Trigger.dev", "initialize Trigger.dev", or get a first task running, including in a monorepo. Once the project is set up and you are writing task code, switch to the trigger-tasks skill.
