Use when handling external API rate limits (e.g., OpenAI 429s, HubSpot or Stripe rate limits), preventing duplicate work from rapid event bursts (debouncing user actions), spreading load over time, ensuring per-tenant fairness, processing events in batches, limiting concurrent runs of the same operation, or assigning priority to important runs. Covers Inngest flow control: concurrency limits with keys, throttling, rate limiting, debounce, priority, singleton, and event batching.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Inngest Flow Control

Master Inngest flow control mechanisms to manage resources, prevent overloading systems, and ensure application reliability. This skill covers all flow control options with prescriptive guidance on when and how to use each.

> **These skills are focused on TypeScript.** For Python or Go, refer to the [Inngest documentation](https://www.inngest.com/llms.txt) for language-specific guidance. Core concepts apply across all languages.

## Quick Decision Guide

- **"Limit how many run at once"** → Concurrency
- **"Spread runs over time"** → Throttling
- **"Block after N runs in a period"** → Rate Limiting
- **"Wait for activity to stop, then run once"** → Debounce
- **"Only one run at a time for this key"** → Singleton
- **"Process events in groups"** → Batching
- **"Some runs are more important"** → Priority

## Concurrency

**When to use:** Limit the number of executing steps (not function runs) to manage computing resources and prevent system overwhelm.

**Key insight:** Concurrency limits active code execution, not function runs. A function waiting on `step.sleep()` or `step.waitForEvent()` doesn't count against the limit.

### Basic Concurrency

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add inngest/inngest-skills/inngest-flow-control@sha256:be1891d43213ec88

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.095565c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
