-## ✨ What you get with this SDK
-
-- **Write normal async code** - No special syntax, just regular TypeScript functions
-- **No timeouts** - Tasks can run for hours or days without failing
-- **Built-in reliability** - Automatic retries, error handling, and durable execution
-- **Real-time observability** - Watch your tasks execute with full OpenTelemetry tracing
-- **Local development** - Test and debug tasks locally with the same environment
-- **Checkpoint-resume system** - Efficient resource usage with automatic state management
-- **50+ integrations** - Pre-built connectors for AI, databases, and external services
-- **Framework agnostic** - Works with Next.js, Express, Fastify, Remix, and more
-
-## 🚀 Quick Start
-
-### Installation
-
-```bash
-npm install @trigger.dev/sdk
-# or
-yarn add @trigger.dev/sdk
-# or
-pnpm add @trigger.dev/sdk
-```
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```typescript
-import { TriggerClient, eventTrigger } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
-
-const client = new TriggerClient({
-  id: "my-app",
-  apiKey: process.env.TRIGGER_API_KEY!,
-});
-
-// Define a background task - just normal async code
-export const generateContent = task({
-  id: "generate-content",
-  retry: {
-    maxAttempts: 3,
-  },
-  run: async ({ theme, description }: { theme: string; description: string }) => {
-    // Generate text with OpenAI
-    const textResult = await openai.chat.completions.create({
-      model: "gpt-4o",
-      messages: [{ role: "user", content: `Create content about ${theme}: ${description}` }],
-    });
-
-    if (!textResult.choices[0]) {
-      throw new Error("No content generated, retrying...");
-    }
-
-    // Generate an image
-    const imageResult = await openai.images.generate({
-      model: "dall-e-3",
-      prompt: `Create an image for: ${theme}`,
-    });
-
-    if (!imageResult.data[0]) {
-      throw new Error("No image generated, retrying...");
-    }
-
-    return {
-      text: textResult.choices[0].message.content,
-      image: imageResult.data[0].url,
-    };
-  },
-});
-
-// Trigger the task from your app
-import { tasks } from "@trigger.dev/sdk/v3";
-
-const handle = await tasks.trigger<typeof generateContent>("generate-content", {
-  theme: "AI automation",
-  description: "How AI is transforming business workflows",
-});
-```
-
-### Scheduled Tasks & Workflows
-
-```typescript
-import { schedules } from "@trigger.dev/sdk/v3";
-
-// Scheduled task - runs every Monday at 9 AM
-export const weeklyReport = schedules.task({
-  id: "weekly-report",
-  cron: "0 9 * * MON",
-  run: async () => {
-    // Multi-step workflow with automatic retries
-    const data = await analyzeMetrics.triggerAndWait({
-      timeframe: "week",
-    });
-
-    const report = await generateReport.triggerAndWait({
-      data: data.output,
-      format: "pdf",
-    });
-
-    // Send to team - runs in parallel
-    await Promise.all([
-      sendEmail.trigger({
-        to: "[email protected]",
-        subject: "Weekly Report",
-        attachment: report.output.url,
-      }),
-      uploadToS3.trigger({
-        file: report.output,
-        bucket: "reports",
-      }),
-    ]);
-
-    return { success: true, reportId: report.output.id };
