What it does

Ideogram Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Control Ideogram concurrency with a bounded queue, deadlines, backoff, and fair tenant admission. Use when preventing 429 responses or sizing generation workers. Trigger with "tune Ideogram concurrency", "fix Ideogram throttling", or "design an Ideogram request queue".

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 capacity tests require explicit spend and load approval

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

  • Preventing 429 responses
  • Sizing generation workers
  • With tune Ideogram concurrency
  • Fix Ideogram throttling

Example prompts

  • “tune Ideogram concurrency”
  • “fix Ideogram throttling”
  • “design an Ideogram request queue”
  • “/ideogram-rate-limits”

Requirements

  • A credential in IDEOGRAM_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live capacity tests require explicit spend and load approval
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Measure arrival rate, service time by endpoint, current in-flight count, queue age, timeout rate, and 429 responses.
  2. Place a shared account-level semaphore below the verified limit; start conservatively and reserve capacity for recovery probes.
  3. Add bounded per-tenant admission, queue length, age, output count, and total operation deadlines.
  4. Prefer asynchronous endpoints for work that cannot fit an interactive deadline and persist each generation_id.
  5. Retry only classified transient responses using server guidance when present, exponential backoff with jitter, and a strict attempt ceiling.
  6. Prevent ambiguous duplicate generation by reconciling known async identifiers before resubmission.
  7. Raise capacity only through the vendor path and a reviewed load plan; canary the new limit.

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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.ideogram.ai

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

  • Credentials

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

    • IDEOGRAM_API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; live capacity tests require explicit spend and load approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Ideogram Rate Limits loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 499 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
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
~1.7k

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.

Ideogram Concurrency and Queue Control

Overview

Keep paid image work inside a measurable concurrency envelope. Combine admission control, tenant fairness, operation deadlines, and endpoint-aware retry so a traffic burst does not become duplicate spend, an unbounded queue, or persistent 429 pressure.

Prerequisites

  • Request arrival rate, latency objective, output count, endpoint mix, and cost ceiling.
  • Queue ownership, per-tenant policy, cancellation behavior, and overload response.
  • Current account capacity and an approved contact path for increased scale.

Current Contract

Ideogram's API overview documents a default limit of 10 in-flight requests and directs larger-capacity needs to partnership@ideogram.ai. This is a concurrency boundary, not permission to launch ten workers per process. Account-wide observed behavior remains authoritative.

Authentication

Workers inject IDEOGRAM_API_KEY server-side and send Api-Key only to https://api.ideogram.ai. Queue records and metrics must exclude keys, prompts, images, and response URLs.

Instructions

  1. Measure arrival rate, service time by endpoint, current in-flight count, queue age, timeout rate, and 429 responses.
  2. Place a shared account-level semaphore below the verified limit; start conservatively and reserve capacity for recovery probes.
  3. Add bounded per-tenant admission, queue length, age, output count, and total operation deadlines.
  4. Prefer asynchronous endpoints for work that cannot fit an interactive deadline and persist each generation_id.
  5. Retry only classified transient responses using server guidance when present, exponential backoff with jitter, and a strict attempt ceiling.
  6. Prevent ambiguous duplicate generation by reconciling known async identifiers before resubmission.
  7. Raise capacity only through the vendor path and a reviewed load plan; canary the new limit.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep for queue, worker, metric, and fixture inspection. Use Write and Edit for approved limit, test, or documentation changes. Invocation does not authorize load generation, quota negotiation, or increased production concurrency.

Approval Boundaries

Require owners for live load tests, spend, tenant-priority changes, queue dropping, capacity increases, and deployment. Document how queued work is cancelled or drained before changing the envelope.

Error Handling

  • A 429 is an admission-control signal; immediate retries amplify pressure.
  • Expired queue work should terminate before calling Ideogram, not after spending credit.
  • Do not retry 400, 401, 422, unsafe output, or an already accepted async submission as if transient.

Output

Return verified limit source, chosen semaphore, queue and tenant bounds, deadline and retry policy, measured status counts, cost impact, test result, canary state, and rollback setting. Exclude content and credentials.

Examples

  • Set eight shared worker permits, retain two for recovery probes, and cap each tenant below the account total.
  • Report peak_inflight=8; queue_p95=3s; 429=0; expired_before_submit=12; duplicates=0.

Validation

Use a deterministic queue simulator first, verify fairness and deadline expiration, inject 429 and timeout outcomes, and prove duplicate suppression. Run a paid load check only within the approved request and cost ceiling.

Resources

  • Current first-party evidence map — use the dated endpoint, webhook, billing, team, and training links as the contract index for this workflow.
  • Recheck the endpoint-specific page and current OpenAPI description before relying on an enum, limit, beta feature, or lifecycle claim.
  • Record live observations as environment-specific evidence, not as universal vendor guarantees.
