# Recursive > Recursive master-orchestration for complex multi-step tasks. Decompose work, delegate execution to sub-agents, and iterate until verified. Use when users request recursive reasoning, multi-pass refinement, or explicit plan-execute-verify loops. Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/recursive` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/recursive` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/recursive/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Coding & Dev Tools - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/recursive --- # Recursive Act as the master orchestrator. Keep execution in sub-agents (`recursive-executor`) and focus on planning, verification, and synthesis. ## Workflow 1. Plan with `mcp__seq-think__sequentialthinking`. 2. Split the task into 2-6 ordered steps with dependencies and acceptance criteria. 3. Delegate one step at a time with `Task` (parallelize only independent steps). 4. Verify each result for correctness, completeness, and constraint compliance. 5. If a step fails, re-delegate with concrete fixes and retry criteria. 6. Synthesize verified outputs into the final response. ## Operating Rules - Pass only the minimum context required for each sub-task. - Keep a short reflection log: what failed, what changed, what now works. - Stop when all steps pass, or when two consecutive retries on the same step bring no material improvement. - Prioritize final answer quality over exposing internal chain-of-thought. ## Response Style - Default: return final answer first, then a brief verification summary when useful. - If the user asks for process details, provide a compact table: `step | owner | status | retries`. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/lollipopkit) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
