API Rate Limiting

v1.0.0

Rate limiting algorithms, implementation strategies, HTTP conventions, tiered limits, distributed patterns, and client-side handling. Use when protecting APIs from abuse, implementing usage tiers, or configuring gateway-level throttling.

✓
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the content: SKILL.md contains algorithms, gateway examples (NGINX, Kong), Redis patterns, HTTP header guidance, client retry patterns and monitoring notes — all appropriate for a rate-limiting skill.
✓
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and code snippets remain within the domain of rate limiting. The examples reference helper functions (get_count, increment_count) and Redis, which are reasonable placeholders; nothing in the instructions asks the agent to read unrelated files, exfiltrate secrets, or contact unexpected endpoints. The README includes example install copy commands (local paths) and an npx URL example (documentation only) but the skill itself is instruction-only.
✓
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are present (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk by the skill. The README documents manual copy commands and an 'npx add' example pointing at a GitHub tree; those are documentation instructions rather than an automated install spec. As always, verify any external install command before running it.
✓
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Example configs reference Redis hosts (e.g., redis.internal) which is appropriate for distributed rate limiting and consistent with the stated purpose.
✓
Persistence & Privilege
Flags show default behavior (not always:true). There is no install, no persistent privileges requested, and the skill does not attempt to modify other skills or system settings.
Assessment
This skill is an instruction-only reference about rate limiting and appears internally consistent. Before using: review any example install commands (the README's npx/copy examples) and avoid running unfamiliar scripts or downloads; if you adapt the snippets to production, ensure atomic operations for counters (use the shown Lua script or equivalent), secure your Redis/gateway endpoints, and validate header formats and limits against your privacy/security requirements.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.
