What it does

Upstash Ratelimit TS is an agent skill from upstash/ratelimit-js, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Lightweight guidance for using the Redis Rate Limit TypeScript SDK, including setup steps, basic usage, and pointers to advanced algorithm, features, pricing, and traffic‑protection docs.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `algorithms.md`, `features.md` and `methods-getting-started.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Rate limiting. It works with Upstash, Redis and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Rate limiting library for serverless runtimes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Rate limiting

Example prompts

“/upstash-ratelimit-ts”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fccd840. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).
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.

Context cost

Upstash Ratelimit TS loads about 313 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 84 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~313

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.

Rate Limit TS SDK

Quick Start

Install the SDK and connect to Redis.
Create a rate limiter and apply it to incoming operations.

Example:

import { Ratelimit } from "@upstash/ratelimit";
import { Redis } from "@upstash/redis";

const redis = new Redis({ url: "<url>", token: "<token>" });
const limiter = new Ratelimit({ redis, limiter: Ratelimit.slidingWindow(5, "10s") });

const { success } = await limiter.limit("user-id");
if (!success) {
  // throttled
}

Other Skill Files

algorithms.md: Describes all available rate‑limiting algorithms and how they behave.
pricing-cost.md: Explains pricing, Redis cost implications, and operational considerations.
features.md: Lists SDK features such as prefixes, custom keys, and behavioral options.
methods-getting-started.md: Full method reference for the SDK's API and getting started guide.
traffic-protection.md: Guidance on applying rate limiting for traffic shaping, abuse prevention, and protection patterns.
