What it does

Linear Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement Linear request, endpoint, and GraphQL complexity budgets with reset-aware throttling. Use when coordinating workers or recovering from RATELIMITED errors. Trigger with "handle Linear rate limits", "budget Linear complexity", or "throttle Linear workers".

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: Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Linear workspace credential

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Rate limiting and GraphQL. It works with GraphQL. 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

  • Coordinating workers
  • Recovering from RATELIMITED errors
  • With handle Linear rate limits
  • Budget Linear complexity

Example prompts

  • “handle Linear rate limits”
  • “budget Linear complexity”
  • “throttle Linear workers”
  • “/linear-rate-limits”

Requirements

  • A credential in API_KEY
  • A credential in ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Linear workspace credential
  • 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. Inventory every producer and auth actor sharing a quota, including multiple keys owned by the same user.
  2. Read request, endpoint, and complexity headers and convert reset values from UTC epoch milliseconds.
  3. Allocate per-workload budgets below all applicable limits and centralize queue/admission control.
  4. Reject queries above the single-query maximum before sending; reduce fields, nesting, and page size.
  5. On RATELIMITED, stop new pressure, honor the relevant reset/window evidence, and bound retry attempts with jitter.
  6. Test burst, sustained, endpoint-specific, complexity, and retry-storm behavior with synthetic workloads.

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):

    • linear.app

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

  • Credentials

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

    • API_KEY
    • ACCESS_TOKEN

    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 Linear workspace credential

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Linear Rate Limits loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
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
~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.

Linear Request and Complexity Control

Overview

Coordinate the applicable user, app-actor, endpoint, and complexity budgets so retries do not multiply pressure.

Prerequisites

  • The target repository, Linear workspace, environment, and accountable owner
  • Current security, privacy, compliance, capacity, and change-control requirements
  • An approved Linear credential only when a bounded live verification is necessary

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect code, configuration, and evidence. Use WebFetch only for current first-party Linear documentation and package metadata. Use Write or Edit only for requested implementation with known target files. Never write credentials, customer content, unrestricted environment output, or unredacted GraphQL variables.

Current Contract

  • API key: 2,500 requests and 3,000,000 complexity points per user per hour; OAuth: 5,000 requests and 2,000,000 points per user or app user per hour.
  • Unauthenticated traffic: 600 requests and 100,000 complexity points per IP per hour; one query is capped at 10,000 points.
  • Endpoint-specific limits can be lower and expose their own limit, remaining, reset, and endpoint-name headers.
  • GraphQL throttling returns HTTP 400 with extensions.code: RATELIMITED; Linear uses a leaky-bucket refill model.

Authentication

Use a personal API key only for owner-controlled scripts, OAuth with PKCE for user-delegated applications, or an enabled client-credentials grant for approved automation. Personal keys use Authorization: <API_KEY>; OAuth tokens use Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>. Store credentials server-side in an approved secret manager.

Treat app approval, team access, scope changes, credential creation, rotation, revocation, and production access as owner-approved actions.

Instructions

  1. Inventory every producer and auth actor sharing a quota, including multiple keys owned by the same user.
  2. Read request, endpoint, and complexity headers and convert reset values from UTC epoch milliseconds.
  3. Allocate per-workload budgets below all applicable limits and centralize queue/admission control.
  4. Reject queries above the single-query maximum before sending; reduce fields, nesting, and page size.
  5. On RATELIMITED, stop new pressure, honor the relevant reset/window evidence, and bound retry attempts with jitter.
  6. Test burst, sustained, endpoint-specific, complexity, and retry-storm behavior with synthetic workloads.

Approval Boundaries

Do not create, reveal, rotate, or revoke credentials; authorize an OAuth app; change scopes or team access; create, mutate, archive, or delete workspace data; configure or re-enable webhooks; import or export data; change roles, SCIM, or audit streaming; transmit diagnostics; change paid entitlements; or perform another production mutation without explicit approval from the accountable owner. Keep diagnosis read-only unless implementation was requested.

Output

Return the workspace and team scope, auth mode without credential value, files and contracts inspected, exact operation names, evidence collected, validation result, sensitive fields redacted, remaining risk, accountable owner, approval state, and rollback or next action.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
RATELIMITEDIdentify which request/endpoint/complexity budget failed, then honor its reset evidence.
Headers missingUse a conservative circuit breaker and surface unknown capacity.
Multiple keys, one userTreat them as one API-key quota; do not shard around the limit.
Dynamic workspace limitUse observed headers as authority rather than a cached entitlement.

Examples

Use a compact handoff that makes scope, mutation authority, and verification evidence reviewable.

Input:

text
auth=api-key; workers=4; target-requests-hour=2000; query-max=8000

Expected handoff:

text
shared-budget=enabled; endpoint-overrides=tracked; retries=bounded
