Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install api-rate-limit-retry-backoff

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent writes a bounded retry loop that classifies responses, reads limit headers, spaces out calls and avoids replaying non-idempotent operations. You get an API client that copes better with traffic spikes.
