What it does

Techsmith Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Manage Snagit and Camtasia workstation capacity with explicit capture, recorder, export, disk, and queue limits. Use when scheduling desktop automation or recovering from overload. Trigger with "TechSmith rate limits", "Camtasia queue limits", or "Snagit capacity guardrails".

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; TechSmith product execution requires an approved Windows or macOS desktop as documented

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Rate limiting, Desktop control and LLM guardrails. 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.

  • Camtasia queue limits

Example prompts

  • “TechSmith rate limits”
  • “Camtasia queue limits”
  • “Snagit capacity guardrails”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; TechSmith product execution requires an approved Windows or macOS desktop as documented
  • 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. Classify jobs as interactive capture, recorder control, project export, validation, or archival.
  2. Assign separate semaphores and timeouts per job class and workstation capability.
  3. Before admission, check product/version, session availability, license health, local disk, queue age, and cancellation state.
  4. Lease one durable job identity to one worker; heartbeat and reclaim only after a defined expiry.
  5. On completion, validate output and release capacity; on failure, classify before any retry.
  6. Graph queue depth, oldest age, active leases, resource saturation, retries, failures, and rejected 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
    • 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):

    • assets.techsmith.com
    • support.techsmith.com

    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; TechSmith product execution requires an approved Windows or macOS desktop as documented

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Techsmith Rate Limits loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
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
~2.1k

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.

TechSmith Desktop Capacity Guardrails

Overview

TechSmith desktop automation does not expose a documented request-rate quota like a SaaS API. This skill therefore defines local capacity limits from interactive-session exclusivity, licensed workers, CPU/GPU/memory/disk headroom, artifact growth, deadlines, and operator impact.

Prerequisites

  • Inventory of approved workers, versions, license assignments, and interactive-session constraints
  • Measured capture/export duration and peak resource use for representative workloads
  • Queue service objective, maximum artifact size, free-space floor, and cancellation policy
  • A durable job identity and idempotency key

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect local scripts, manifests, logs, and tests. Use WebFetch only for current primary TechSmith documentation. Use Write or Edit only after confirming the target repository file and approval boundary.

Current Contract

  • Allow at most one interactive capture or recorder controller per desktop session by default.
  • Set export concurrency from observed workstation headroom; do not infer it from CPU count alone.
  • Reject new work below the disk free-space floor or above the queue-age deadline.
  • Retry only transient worker failures with bounded exponential backoff and a fresh health check.

Licensing and Authentication

TechSmith desktop activation is not API authentication. Resolve individual sign-in versus business-key or approved offline activation before execution. Redact all keys, account identifiers, activation artifacts, and sensitive endpoint details.

Instructions

  1. Classify jobs as interactive capture, recorder control, project export, validation, or archival.
  2. Assign separate semaphores and timeouts per job class and workstation capability.
  3. Before admission, check product/version, session availability, license health, local disk, queue age, and cancellation state.
  4. Lease one durable job identity to one worker; heartbeat and reclaim only after a defined expiry.
  5. On completion, validate output and release capacity; on failure, classify before any retry.
  6. Graph queue depth, oldest age, active leases, resource saturation, retries, failures, and rejected work.

Approval Boundaries

Do not call workstation capacity a vendor API rate limit. Never bypass a busy interactive user, license restriction, disk floor, or cancellation signal to drain a queue.

Output

Return admission decision, selected worker, lease, concurrency class, resource headroom, deadline, retry disposition, and capacity metrics.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
No eligible interactive sessionKeep the job queued or route to an approved staffed window.
Disk below floorReject new media work and clean only policy-approved disposable artifacts.
Lease heartbeat lostWait for expiry and verify process state before reassignment.
Repeated deterministic failureDead-letter the job instead of consuming more workstation time.

Examples

The example below shows the minimum redacted evidence expected from a successful invocation of this operator workflow.

job=cap-882; class=snagit-interactive; session_slots=0/1; decision=queued; oldest_age=4m
