What it does

Flyio Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement Fly.io Machines API pacing, per-resource serialization, retry, and reconciliation from the documented action limits. Use when automating Machine or app operations. Trigger with: "handle Fly 429", "throttle Machines API", "batch Fly Machine updates".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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: Requires a scoped Fly.io API token, an operation and resource inventory, durable job state, and current provider limit documentation.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Rate limiting and Accounting and bookkeeping. 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

  • Automating Machine
  • With: handle Fly 429
  • Throttle Machines API
  • Batch Fly Machine updates

Example prompts

  • “handle Fly 429”
  • “throttle Machines API”
  • “batch Fly Machine updates”
  • “/flyio-rate-limits”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a scoped Fly.io API token, an operation and resource inventory, durable job state, and current provider limit documentation.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify each request
  2. Encode the documented ceilings
  3. Serialize conflicts
  4. Make intent replay-safe
  5. Back off on throttling
  6. Reconcile ambiguous results

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
    • 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

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

    • fly.io

    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

    Requires a scoped Fly.io API token, an operation and resource inventory, durable job state, and current provider limit documentation.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Flyio Rate Limits loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 539 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

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.

Fly.io Machines API Rate Control

Overview

Replace the old invented per-organization table with Fly.io documented limits: Machine actions are constrained per action and per Machine or app identifier, reads have a separate ceiling, and app deletion has its own minute-level limit. Safe workers serialize conflicting operations and reconcile after ambiguous outcomes.

Prerequisites

  • Exact API operations, app and Machine identifiers, request volume, and completion objective
  • Durable operation IDs, desired-state fingerprints, retry counts, and acknowledgement state
  • Current rate-limit contract and an error budget for delayed or failed operations

Instructions

Step 1: Classify each request

Separate create, update, start, stop, suspend, delete, wait, list, and get operations; identify whether the provider scopes the action to a Machine ID or app ID.

Step 2: Encode the documented ceilings

For Machine actions, budget one request per second per action and identifier with a short burst up to three. For get-Machine, budget five per second with a burst up to ten. Treat app deletion as at most 100 per minute.

Step 3: Serialize conflicts

Permit parallel work across independent identifiers only. Never overlap updates, starts, stops, leases, or deletion for the same Machine without a reconciled state boundary.

Step 4: Make intent replay-safe

Persist desired-state hash, operation, target, current Machine instance version, attempt, and acknowledgement before sending a mutation.

Step 5: Back off on throttling

Honor provider retry timing when present; otherwise use bounded exponential backoff with jitter. Apply a retry budget and circuit breaker rather than an unbounded loop.

Step 6: Reconcile ambiguous results

After timeout or transport failure, read current Machine and instance state before retrying. Mark complete only when observed state matches intent.

Authentication

Send the scoped token as a bearer header only to the documented public or private Machines API base URL. Do not widen token scope to solve throttling, and redact headers and Machine configuration secrets from retry telemetry.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep to inspect application configuration, deployment evidence, provider documentation, fixtures, logs, schemas, and existing tests before proposing a change. Use Write or Edit only for an approved plan, configuration, implementation, test, or redacted receipt. Do not create, deploy, scale, restart, stop, suspend, destroy, rotate, revoke, expose, or migrate live Fly.io resources without explicit operator approval.

Output

  • Per-operation and per-identifier rate-control policy
  • Durable queue state with attempts, acknowledgements, and reconciliation outcomes
  • Throttle, retry, circuit-breaker, and manual-disposition receipt

Return the target organization, app, environment, region set, Machine or database identifiers, source-contract fingerprint, evidence, unresolved risks, rollback state, and final decision without exposing tokens, secrets, connection strings, or customer data.

Examples

A worker updates 200 Machines across several apps. It maintains independent queues by action and Machine ID, caps each update lane to the documented rate, adds jitter, records instance versions, and reads state after a timeout before deciding whether to replay.

Error Handling

FailureResponse
429 or provider throttlePause the matching action and identifier lane, honor retry timing, and reduce concurrency without stalling unrelated resources.
408 or transport timeoutRead current state and instance version before retrying; the mutation may have succeeded.
409 or version conflictRefresh Machine state, compare desired intent, and enqueue a new reviewed update rather than forcing stale configuration.
