Generate Harness Trigger YAML for automated pipeline execution and create via MCP. Use when user says "create trigger", "webhook trigger", "cron trigger", "scheduled build", "artifact trigger", or wants pipelines to run automatically.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Create Trigger
Generate Harness Trigger YAML and push to Harness via MCP.
## Instructions
1. **Identify trigger type** - Webhook (Git events), Scheduled (cron), Artifact (registry updates), or Manifest (Helm chart updates)
2. **Configure conditions** - Branch filters, payload conditions, cron expression, or artifact path
3. **Generate YAML** using the templates below, referencing the target pipeline
4. **Create via MCP** using `harness_create` with resource_type `trigger`
5. **Verify webhook registration** - For webhook triggers, confirm the webhook is registered in the Git provider
## Trigger Types
- **Webhook** - GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos, Custom
- **Scheduled** - Cron-based scheduling
- **Artifact** - Docker Hub, ECR, GCR, ACR, Nexus
- **Manifest** - Helm chart updates
## Webhook Trigger (GitHub)
```yaml

How to install
mdr add harness/harness-skills/create-trigger@sha256:78ef623e5017131dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
