Scheduled Flows

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Scheduled Flows 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. Scheduled Flows is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.

Use when designing or reviewing schedule-triggered flows for recurring automation, replacement of time-based workflow patterns, bounded record selection, idempotent processing, and escalation to Apex when volume is too high. Triggers: 'scheduled flow design', 'nightly flow job', 'time based workflow replacement', 'schedule triggered flow limits'. NOT for record-triggered scheduled paths or large-scale batch processing that should be built directly in Batch Apex.

From the source SKILL.md

Use this skill when automation needs to run on a recurring cadence rather than directly from a record event. Schedule-triggered flows work well for bounded recurring tasks such as reminders, renewals, or cleanup logic. They become risky when teams treat them like a general-purpose batch engine and let the record scope or side effects grow without discipline.

What this skill does

Scheduled Flows 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/scheduled-flows/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when designing or reviewing schedule-triggered flows for recurring automation, replacement of time-based workflow patterns, bounded record selection, idempotent processing, and escalation to Apex when volume is too high.
