Adding resource quotas to an Effect-based Golem agent. An agent skill from golemcloud/golem.

  • Works in 6 steps: Define Resources in the Application… → Acquire and Reuse a Token → Reserve Fixed or Variable Costs → …
  • The user asks about rate limiting
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Define Resources in the…, 2. Acquire and Reuse a Token, 3. Reserve Fixed or Variable… and 4. Reserve and Commit Manually, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Golem Quota Effect is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Adding resource quotas to an Effect-based Golem agent. Use when the user asks about rate limiting, resource quotas, Quota tokens, Quota.acquireQuotaToken, Quota.withReservation, throttling API calls, limiting concurrency, capacity limits, or splitting tokens between agents.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Rate limiting. The repository describes itself as: Golem Cloud is the agent-native platform for building AI agents and distributed applications that never lose state, never duplicate work, and never require you to build…

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about rate limiting
  • Resource quotas
  • Quota.acquireQuotaToken
  • Quota.withReservation

Example prompts

  • “/golem-quota-effect”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Define Resources in the Application Manifest
  2. Acquire and Reuse a Token
  3. Reserve Fixed or Variable Costs
  4. Reserve and Commit Manually
  5. Split Tokens Across Agent RPC
  6. Update a Deployed Resource

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit efc90f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript, yaml and bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Golem Quota Effect loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 658 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 658 words (~1,993 tokens).

“Golem provides distributed resource quotas through the Quota namespace from @golemcloud/effect-golem. The manifest defines each resource's policy; agent code acquires a token for that resource and performs Effect-based reservations against it.”
