What it does

Algolia Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Monitor and optimize Algolia request pressure using observed responses and bounded client behavior. Use when requests return 429, queues grow, or search and indexing compete for capacity. Trigger with "Algolia rate limit", "Algolia 429", or "throttle indexing".

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Search implementation and Rate limiting. It works with Algolia. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Requests return 429
  • Search and indexing compete for capacity
  • With Algolia rate limit
  • Throttle indexing

Example prompts

  • “Algolia rate limit”
  • “Algolia 429”
  • “throttle indexing”
  • “/algolia-rate-limits”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Capture the failing operation, response, request ID, client version, concurrency, queue depth, and traffic source.
  2. Check key restrictions and current usage or contract evidence without assuming a fixed quota.
  3. Identify amplification from duplicate clients, unbounded concurrency, retries, bots, or oversized batches.
  4. Define a retry budget with eligible errors, maximum attempts, elapsed timeout, jitter, and cancellation.
  5. Apply concurrency limits or scheduling at the producer and test partial failure and shutdown.
  6. Verify search health, queue recovery, idempotency, and alerting under controlled pressure.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • algolia.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Algolia Rate Limits loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 397 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

Algolia Rate-Pressure Handling

Overview

This skill avoids invented universal quotas. It distinguishes key restrictions, current contractual usage, indexing pressure, transient transport failures, and application amplification using actual response evidence.

Prerequisites

  • A named repository, environment, and Algolia application or index in scope
  • The local lockfile and installed client types as implementation authority
  • A safe read-only query or explicitly disposable test target
  • Current first-party documentation for any provider behavior that affects the change

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect local code, configuration names, tests, and dependency versions. Use WebFetch only for current official Algolia documentation. Use Write or Edit only after identifying the target files, constraints, and verification plan.

Current Contract

  • Interpret a 429 from its status, message, operation, request ID, and current account terms.
  • Inspect installed client behavior before layering application retries on top of SDK host retry.
  • Bound attempts, elapsed time, concurrency, and queue depth; retry only operations whose semantics are safe.
  • Protect interactive search from batch indexing through workload scheduling and backpressure.

Authentication

Use operation-specific, least-privilege keys. Never raise limits by replacing a restricted key with an Admin key or by removing tenant safeguards.

Instructions

  1. Capture the failing operation, response, request ID, client version, concurrency, queue depth, and traffic source.
  2. Check key restrictions and current usage or contract evidence without assuming a fixed quota.
  3. Identify amplification from duplicate clients, unbounded concurrency, retries, bots, or oversized batches.
  4. Define a retry budget with eligible errors, maximum attempts, elapsed timeout, jitter, and cancellation.
  5. Apply concurrency limits or scheduling at the producer and test partial failure and shutdown.
  6. Verify search health, queue recovery, idempotency, and alerting under controlled pressure.

Approval Boundaries

Do not load-test production, remove rate restrictions, increase plan limits, or retry non-idempotent work without owner approval.

Output

Return the observed limit evidence, pressure source, retry and queue policy, test results, residual capacity risk, and any commercial decision requiring an account owner.

Error Handling

Examples

Use this compact input and expected handoff to calibrate scope and evidence quality.

Input:

text
operation=saveObjects; status=429; concurrency=40; sdk=5.59.0

Expected handoff:

text
cause=producer-amplification; concurrency=4; retry-budget=bounded; recovery=verified
