we are in the process of hiring people to build out netlify dev, i'll leave this to them to work out

There is very few information about the event triggered functions, especially about the datastructure it gets passed in. I might be able to help if i get this information. I want to use it to invoke lighthouse-ci every time a new PR is generated.We want to use it in the official gatsby-netlifycms starter and prob. In netlifycms repo as well.

Posted a question to Netlify Community asking about more clarifications. fingers crossed!

note to @RaeesBhatti : we can make this more general, we can mock triggering all sorts of functions locally
