rate-limit SKILL.md skillA

rate-limit from tushaarmehtaa/tushar-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add tushaarmehtaa/tushar-skills/rate-limit@git:20260807.fac9f85

Pins git:20260807.fac9f85 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Implement or audit Upstash Redis rate limits with trusted user, tenant, API-key, or IP identifiers, 429 headers, and outage behavior. Use when protecting Next.js routes from abuse or cost.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Rate limiting with Upstash

Rate limits are one layer of abuse and cost control. Design policy before wiring middleware.

## Workflow

1. Detect Next.js/runtime/version, deployed proxy/CDN, auth/API-key model, installed Upstash versions, protected routes, operation cost, existing quotas, and whether middleware/proxy already touches the request.
2. Define a policy table per route class: identifier, algorithm/window/burst, cost weight, user tier, response behavior, and store-outage behavior. Ask only when the threat/cost tradeoff cannot be inferred.
3. Prefer authenticated user, API key, or tenant+user identifiers. Use IP only for anonymous traffic and only from a deployment-provided trusted source. Never trust arbitrary `x-forwarded-for` from the public internet; configure trusted proxy depth/platform headers. Do not collapse unknown clients to `127.0.0.1`.
4. Namespace by environment and route/policy. Do not apply blanket middleware and a per-route limiter to the same request unless deliberate layered limits use different keys.
5. Configure explicit Upstash timeout and logging/metrics. Choose outage behavior by endpoint:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add tushaarmehtaa/tushar-skills/rate-limit@sha256:0eae47072c9eb99a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260807.fac9f85, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
