What it does

Cohere Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement Cohere endpoint-aware throttling, bounded retry, and queue backpressure from current limits and observed responses. Use when handling 429s or planning throughput. Trigger with "Cohere rate limit", "Cohere throttling", or "Cohere 429".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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; live verification requires network access and an approved Cohere API key

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

  • Planning throughput
  • With Cohere rate limit
  • Cohere throttling

Example prompts

  • “Cohere rate limit”
  • “Cohere throttling”
  • “Cohere 429”
  • “/cohere-rate-limits”

Requirements

  • A credential in CO_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Cohere API key
  • 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. Identify key type, endpoint, resolved model, request batch size, and documented current limit.
  2. Convert limits into request, input, and token budgets as applicable.
  3. Apply a shared queue with bounded concurrency, jittered backoff, and a total retry deadline.
  4. Honor provider retry guidance when present and stop retrying deterministic client errors.
  5. Load test below the approved ceiling with non-sensitive fixtures and record saturation behavior.
  6. Alert on sustained throttling, queue age, dropped work, and budget exhaustion.

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):

    • docs.cohere.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • CO_API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Cohere API key

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Cohere Rate Limits loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 448 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
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.

Cohere Rate-Limit Control

Overview

Treat limits as a live per-key, endpoint, and model contract rather than a single permanent requests-per-minute number.

Prerequisites

  • The target repository, runtime, environment, and accountable owner
  • An approved Cohere team and key for any live verification
  • Current quality, security, privacy, capacity, and change-control requirements

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect code, configuration, and evidence. Use WebFetch only for current Cohere primary documentation. Use Write or Edit only when the user requested implementation and the exact target files are known; never write credentials or customer content.

Current Contract

  • The reviewed page lists Chat limits per model; several newer variants require contacting sales for production capacity.
  • On the review date, Embed was expressed in inputs per minute, while Rerank was expressed in requests per minute.
  • Trial usage includes a monthly cap, and production arrangements can vary.
  • A successful load plan must measure actual account behavior and preserve headroom instead of copying a static table.

Authentication

Use an environment-specific key injected from an approved secret manager. Never print, persist, commit, or place CO_API_KEY in an example. Confirm access with the least costly bounded operation appropriate to the task, and treat key creation, rotation, revocation, role changes, and production-capacity requests as owner-approved actions.

Instructions

  1. Identify key type, endpoint, resolved model, request batch size, and documented current limit.
  2. Convert limits into request, input, and token budgets as applicable.
  3. Apply a shared queue with bounded concurrency, jittered backoff, and a total retry deadline.
  4. Honor provider retry guidance when present and stop retrying deterministic client errors.
  5. Load test below the approved ceiling with non-sensitive fixtures and record saturation behavior.
  6. Alert on sustained throttling, queue age, dropped work, and budget exhaustion.

Approval Boundaries

Do not expose or rotate keys, change Cohere Team roles, accept commercial terms, enable sensitive production data, increase spend or capacity, switch production models, send a support bundle, or execute model-proposed side effects without the accountable owner's approval. Keep diagnosis read-only unless implementation was requested.

Output

Return the resolved API and model contract, files or settings inspected, evidence collected, validation result, remaining risk, owner, and rollback or next action. Redact keys, authorization headers, prompts, retrieved documents, embeddings, customer identifiers, and unrestricted environment output.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Repeated 429Reduce concurrency and inspect key/model-specific capacity.
Queue growthApply admission control instead of hiding overload with retries.
Mixed endpointsUse separate budgets because units and limits differ.
Unknown limitRun a conservative probe or contact Cohere; do not invent capacity.

Examples

Use this compact handoff shape to keep the selected scope, validation evidence, and operational result reviewable.

Input:

text
endpoint=rerank; key=production; model=resolved; workload=interactive

Expected handoff:

text
concurrency=measured; retry=bounded-jitter; headroom=20%; alerts=configured
