Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: engineering-misc  ·  Last updated:
Use when debugging or preventing recursive Apex trigger behavior, especially around self-DML, static guard flaws, Set<Id>-based deduplication, and legitimate re-entry scenarios. Triggers: 'trigger recursion', 'static boolean guard', 'recursive update', 'self DML', 'trigger firing multiple times'. NOT for general trigger-framework structure unless recursion is the actual design problem.

From the source SKILL.md

Use this skill when trigger behavior is correct once and wrong on the second pass. The objective is to prevent accidental recursion without suppressing legitimate processing. In Salesforce, recursion often comes from self-DML, after-save updates, or surrounding automation, and the classic static-boolean fix is usually too blunt.

What this skill does

Recursive Trigger Prevention is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/recursive-trigger-prevention/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when debugging or preventing recursive Apex trigger behavior, especially around self-DML, static guard flaws, Set<Id>-based deduplication, and legitimate re-entry scenarios. Triggers: 'trigger recursion', 'static boolean guard', 'recursive update', 'self DML', 'trigger firing multiple times'.
