What it does

Fathom Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Handle Fathom API rate limits (60 requests/minute per user). Trigger with phrases like "fathom rate limit", "fathom 429", "fathom throttle".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. 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

  • With phrases like fathom rate limit
  • Fathom throttle

Example prompts

  • “fathom rate limit”
  • “fathom 429”
  • “fathom throttle”
  • “/fathom-rate-limits”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Bound concurrency and preserve idempotency for meeting, sync, and follow-up operations.
  2. Monitor throttling, queue age, errors, and duplicate-action risk using redacted aggregate metrics.
  3. Back off with jitter on transient limits and reduce load before replaying failed work.

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
    • Write
    • Edit

    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).

    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

Fathom Rate Limits loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 305 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Fathom Rate Limits

Prerequisites

  • Current provider limits, aggregate baseline, stable request/event IDs, synthetic test data, and a capacity owner.

Instructions

  1. Bound concurrency and preserve idempotency for meeting, sync, and follow-up operations.
  2. Monitor throttling, queue age, errors, and duplicate-action risk using redacted aggregate metrics.
  3. Back off with jitter on transient limits and reduce load before replaying failed work.

Output

  • A rate-aware workflow with bounded retry, idempotency, redacted monitoring, and safe recovery ownership.

Examples

Increase synthetic development workload gradually below approved limits, record aggregate 429s/latency/completion, and apply backoff on throttling. Do not retry meeting/CRM follow-up actions without checking stable IDs, consent, and current state.

Overview

Fathom's API enforces a strict 60 requests-per-minute cap per user across all API keys. Since meeting transcripts and action items are often fetched in bulk after a day of calls, this limit becomes a real constraint for teams processing large meeting backlogs. Transcript endpoints are especially heavy because they return full conversation text, making pagination and careful throttling essential for any integration that syncs meeting intelligence into CRMs or project trackers.

Rate Limiter Implementation

typescript
class FathomRateLimiter {
  private tokens: number = 60;
  private lastRefill: number = Date.now();
  private queue: Array<{ resolve: () => void }> = [];

  async acquire(): Promise<void> {
    this.refill();
    if (this.tokens >= 1) { this.tokens -= 1; return; }
    return new Promise(resolve => this.queue.push({ resolve }));
  }

  private refill() {
    const now = Date.now();
    const elapsed = now - this.lastRefill;
    this.tokens = Math.min(60, this.tokens + (elapsed / 60_000) * 60);
    this.lastRefill = now;
    while (this.tokens >= 1 && this.queue.length) {
      this.tokens -= 1;
      this.queue.shift()!.resolve();
    }
  }
}

const limiter = new FathomRateLimiter();

Retry Strategy

typescript
async function fathomRetry<T>(fn: () => Promise<Response>, maxRetries = 3): Promise<T> {
  for (let attempt = 0; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++) {
    await limiter.acquire();
    const res = await fn();
    if (res.ok) return res.json();
    if (res.status === 429) {
      const retryAfter = parseInt(res.headers.get("Retry-After") || "60", 10);
      const jitter = Math.random() * 3000;
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, retryAfter * 1000 + jitter));
      continue;
    }
    if (res.status >= 500 && attempt < maxRetries) {
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, Math.pow(2, attempt) * 2000));
      continue;
    }
    throw new Error(`Fathom API ${res.status}: ${await res.text()}`);
  }
  throw new Error("Max retries exceeded");
}

Batch Processing

typescript
async function syncAllTranscripts(meetingIds: string[], batchSize = 10) {
  const results: any[] = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < meetingIds.length; i += batchSize) {
    const batch = meetingIds.slice(i, i + batchSize);
    const batchResults = await Promise.all(
      batch.map(id => fathomRetry(() =>
        fetch(`${BASE}/api/v1/meetings/${id}/transcript`, { headers })
      ))
    );
    results.push(...batchResults);
    if (i + batchSize < meetingIds.length) await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 12_000));
  }
  return results;
}
