What it does

Ramp Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement a shared Ramp request budget with rolling-window throttling, bounded retries, pagination, and 504 recovery. Use when clients receive 429 or 504 responses or share one outbound IP. Trigger with "Ramp rate limit" or "Ramp 429".

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 current Ramp Developer API documentation and approved access for any live financial, card, identity, accounting, application, or configuration change

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

  • Clients receive 429
  • Share one outbound IP
  • With Ramp rate limit

Example prompts

  • “Ramp rate limit”
  • “Ramp 429”
  • “/ramp-rate-limits”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires current Ramp Developer API documentation and approved access for any live financial, card, identity, accounting, application, or configuration change
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inventory all services, jobs, tenants, endpoints, and retry layers sharing each source IP; measure arrival rate, burst, latency, 429/504…
  2. Implement one shared rolling-window limiter below the documented ceiling, with reserved capacity for interactive or recovery traffic.
  3. Use bounded exponential backoff with full jitter for 429, 5xx, and safe 504 cases; cap attempts and total elapsed time.
  4. Retry reads freely within budget, but retry writes only with an endpoint-supported idempotency key and post-timeout reconciliation.
  5. Reduce pages or query scope for 504s, canary concurrency changes, and request a vendor increase only with measured demand and completeness…

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

    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

    Requires current Ramp Developer API documentation and approved access for any live financial, card, identity, accounting, application, or configuration change

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Ramp Rate Limits loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 527 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
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
~1.4k

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.

Ramp Rate-Limit and Timeout Control

Overview

Coordinate all workers that share an egress IP, because independent per-process retries can amplify a rolling-window breach. Preserve idempotency and reconcile ambiguous writes before retry.

Prerequisites

  • Identify the Ramp application, environment, business entities, affected data and workflows, accountable owner, and rollback boundary.
  • Read references/official-docs.md and re-check endpoint schemas, scopes, limits, and support status before a live operation.
  • Use synthetic fixtures or Ramp sandbox until production access and business effects are explicitly approved.
  • Prepare approved secret storage and a sanitized evidence location.

Current Contract

  • Ramp currently documents a default limit of 200 requests per rolling 10-second window per source IP.
  • A 429 means pause and back off; immediate retries worsen contention.
  • Requests taking longer than 60 seconds terminate with 504, so large reads should be paginated and work units reduced.
  • Ramp recommends exponential backoff; actual throughput is lower than theoretical throughput and endpoint constraints still apply.

Instructions

  1. Inventory all services, jobs, tenants, endpoints, and retry layers sharing each source IP; measure arrival rate, burst, latency, 429/504, and business priority.

  2. Implement one shared rolling-window limiter below the documented ceiling, with reserved capacity for interactive or recovery traffic.

  3. Use bounded exponential backoff with full jitter for 429, 5xx, and safe 504 cases; cap attempts and total elapsed time.

  4. Retry reads freely within budget, but retry writes only with an endpoint-supported idempotency key and post-timeout reconciliation.

  5. Reduce pages or query scope for 504s, canary concurrency changes, and request a vendor increase only with measured demand and completeness evidence.

Tool Discipline

  • Use Glob to locate candidate code, manifests, fixtures, and evidence without widening scope.
  • Use Grep to find relevant endpoints, fields, permissions, identifiers, errors, and stale assumptions.
  • Use Read to inspect the smallest required local files and authoritative evidence.
  • Use Write only for a new approved local draft, test, configuration, or evidence artifact.
  • Use Edit only for a bounded approved change with a known rollback.
  • Local file tools do not authorize a Ramp operation or replace owner approval.

Approval Boundaries

Platform owners approve budgets and retry policy; business/finance owners approve write replay; Ramp must approve any limit increase.

Output

A shared-egress inventory, limiter design, retry matrix, idempotency policy, benchmark, canary outcome, dashboards, and vendor increase evidence if needed.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
429s continue below the local budgetFind other workloads sharing the egress IP and centralize their accounting.
A write returns 504Reconcile resource/task state before reuse of the original idempotency key.
Backoff grows queue lagPrioritize by business criticality, shed nonessential polling, and preserve durable checkpoints.

Examples

Example 1

Coordinate three sync workers behind one NAT with a shared rolling limiter and jittered retries.

Example 2

Recover a 504-prone historical seed by reducing page scope and committing each page before cursor advance.

Validation

  • Aggregate egress stays below the re-verified current limit during load tests.
  • Retry budgets are bounded and observable.
  • Ambiguous writes cannot create duplicate financial effects.
  • 429/504 reduction does not hide missing pages, stalled queues, or reconciliation gaps.

Resources

  • Official documentation and contract notes
  • Re-check the dated contract and current OpenAPI schema before any live request.
  • Treat unresolved vendor behavior, authority, or financial state as a stop condition.
