Recursion And Re Entry Prevention

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: automation  ·  Last updated:
Use when a record-triggered Flow re-fires on the same record because its own DML (or a downstream Flow's DML) re-satisfies the entry criteria — causing CPU-limit failures, duplicated side effects, or 'Maximum Trigger Depth Exceeded' errors. Triggers: 'flow infinite loop', 'flow re-firing on same record', 'flow updates field then runs again', 'flow A and flow B keep updating each other', 'maximum trigger depth exceeded record-triggered flow', 'flow recursion limit hit'. NOT for Apex trigger recursion (use apex/recursive-trigger-prevention) or for Loop element design inside a single Flow run (use flow/flow-loop-element-patterns).

From the source SKILL.md

Activate when a record-triggered Flow re-fires on the same record because its own DML — or a chain of DML through other automations on the same object — re-satisfies the Flow's entry criteria. Apex has the static Boolean idiom for breaking recursion; Flow does not. The skill produces entry-criteria refinements, idempotency markers, and diagnostic patterns specific to Flow's re-entry mechanics.

What this skill does

Recursion And Re Entry Prevention is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the automation sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/recursion-and-re-entry-prevention/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when a record-triggered Flow re-fires on the same record because its own DML (or a downstream Flow's DML) re-satisfies the entry criteria — causing CPU-limit failures, duplicated side effects, or 'Maximum Trigger Depth Exceeded' errors. Triggers: 'flow infinite loop', 'flow re-firing on same record', 'flow updates field then runs again', 'flow A and flow B keep updating each other', 'maximum trigger depth exceeded record-triggered flow', 'flow recursion limit hit'.

Who uses this skill

The Recursion And Re Entry Prevention Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 146,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Recursion And Re Entry Prevention Claude Code skill?
Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/recursion-and-re-entry-prevention/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.
What does the Recursion And Re Entry Prevention skill do?
Use when a record-triggered Flow re-fires on the same record because its own DML (or a downstream Flow's DML) re-satisfies the entry criteria — causing CPU-limit failures, duplicated side effects, or 'Maximum Trigger Depth Exceeded' errors. Triggers: 'flow infinite loop', 'flow re-firing on same record', 'flow updates field then runs again', 'flow A and flow B keep updating each other', 'maximum trigger depth exceeded record-triggered flow', 'flow recursion limit hit'. NOT for Apex trigger recursion (use apex/recursive-trigger-prevention) or for Loop element design inside a single Flow run (use flow/flow-loop-element-patterns).
Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Recursion And Re Entry Prevention skill?
Use Recursion And Re Entry Prevention when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the automation area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Recursion And Re Entry Prevention" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/general/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Recursion And Re Entry Prevention skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Recursion And Re Entry Prevention is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
