What it does

Bamboohr Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Design bounded BambooHR retry, backpressure, and queue behavior from observed responses without inventing numeric quotas. Use when handling 429 or transient gateway failures, or preventing retry storms. Trigger with "BambooHR rate limit", "BambooHR 429", "BambooHR retry", or "BambooHR backoff".

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 Rate limiting. 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

  • Transient gateway failures
  • Preventing retry storms
  • With BambooHR rate limit
  • BambooHR backoff

Example prompts

  • “BambooHR rate limit”
  • “BambooHR 429”
  • “BambooHR retry”
  • “/bamboohr-rate-limits”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inventory every caller, concurrency source, scheduled sync, webhook replay,
  2. Classify operations as read-only, idempotent with a key, conditionally safe,
  3. On 429, parse and honor a valid Retry-After value when present; otherwise
  4. For 408, 504, or 598, apply the same budget only to retry-safe work.
  5. Centralize per-tenant concurrency and queue limits. Add a circuit breaker for
  6. Emit status class, request ID, attempt, selected delay, queue age, breaker
  7. Test exact attempt counts, jitter bounds, Retry-After, elapsed-time cap,

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
    • 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

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Bamboohr Rate Limits loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 471 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
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
~1.9k

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.

BambooHR Rate and Retry Control

Overview

Protect the tenant, worker pool, and downstream systems with a finite retry budget. BambooHR does not publish one universal numeric quota in the reviewed official sources, so do not turn an observed limit into a product guarantee.

Prerequisites

  • The target repository or integration path and the requested operator outcome.
  • The tenant, identity, and data scope only when approved live work is in scope.
  • The current evidence register plus customer-specific permissions and agreements.

Current Contract

The official Python SDK retries HTTP 408, 429, 504, and 598 with exponential delays beginning at 100 ms. Retry count is configurable from zero through five and defaults to one. It exposes RateLimitExceededException and request IDs. 503 is represented as service unavailable but is not in that documented automatic-retry set.

Authentication

Retries must reuse the same tenant-bound identity without logging or rebuilding its token. If an OAuth token expires, permit one refresh workflow; do not count repeated authentication failures as rate-limit retries.

Instructions

  1. Inventory every caller, concurrency source, scheduled sync, webhook replay, and manual job that shares the tenant identity.
  2. Classify operations as read-only, idempotent with a key, conditionally safe, or unsafe to retry. Default mutations to no automatic retry.
  3. On 429, parse and honor a valid Retry-After value when present; otherwise use capped exponential backoff with jitter. Bound total attempts and elapsed time.
  4. For 408, 504, or 598, apply the same budget only to retry-safe work. Treat other failures according to explicit application policy, not by widening the SDK's documented set accidentally.
  5. Centralize per-tenant concurrency and queue limits. Add a circuit breaker for sustained failures and spread scheduled full syncs.
  6. Emit status class, request ID, attempt, selected delay, queue age, breaker state, and terminal disposition—never response bodies or credentials.
  7. Test exact attempt counts, jitter bounds, Retry-After, elapsed-time cap, cancellation, restart persistence, and no-retry mutations.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to find retry loops and worker concurrency. Use Write/Edit only for approved policy, instrumentation, and tests. This skill does not send live requests or tune an account's BambooHR configuration.

Approval Boundaries

Require approval before changing production concurrency, replaying queued HR operations, or enabling retries for a mutation. Never retry an ambiguous write until a read proves its current state.

Output

Return operation classification, retryable statuses, max attempts and elapsed budget, delay policy, Retry-After handling, concurrency/breaker design, telemetry, test evidence, and live rollout boundary.

Error Handling

  • Invalid Retry-After: ignore the value, use the bounded fallback, and record it.
  • Queue age exceeds business SLA: stop accepting work and surface degraded mode.
  • Retry budget exhausted: dead-letter with request ID and safe context; do not loop.

Examples

  • "Retry all 503s forever" is rejected as unsupported and unsafe.
  • "Handle 429s" produces a finite, tenant-scoped policy without a fabricated quota.

Resources

Read official evidence before changing retry policy.
