clay-rate-limits
Implement Clay rate limiting, backoff, and idempotency patterns. Use when handling rate limit errors, implementing retry logic, or optimizing API request throughput for Clay. Trigger with phrases like "clay rate limit", "clay throttling", "clay 429", "clay retry", "clay backoff".

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Clay Rate Limits ## Overview Handle Clay rate limits gracefully with exponential backoff and idempotency. ## Prerequisites - Clay SDK installed - Understanding of async/await patterns - Access to rate limit headers ## Instructions ### Step 1: Understand Rate Limit Tiers | Tier | Requests/min | Requests/day | Burst | |------|-------------|--------------|-------| | Free | 60 | 1,000 | 10 | | Pro | 300 | 10,000 | 50 | | Enterprise | 1,000 | 100,000 | 200 | ### Step 2: Implement Exponential Backoff with Jitter ```typescript async function withExponentialBackoff<T>( operation: () => Promise<T>, config = { maxRetries: 5, baseDelayMs: 1000, maxDelayMs: 32000, jitterMs: 500 } ): Promise<T> { for (let attempt = 0; attempt <= config.maxRetries; attempt++) { try { return await operation(); } catch (error: any) { if (attempt === config.maxRetries) throw error; const status = error.status || error.response?.status; if (status !== 429 && (status < 500 || status >= 600)) throw error; // Exponential delay with jitter to prevent thundering herd const exponentialDelay = config.baseDelayMs * Math.pow(2, attempt); const jitter = Math.random() * config.jitterMs; const delay = Math.min(exponentialDela

What does the clay-rate-limits skill do?
Implement Clay rate limiting, backoff, and idempotency patterns. Use when handling rate limit errors, implementing retry logic, or optimizing API request throughput for Clay. Trigger with phrases like "clay rate limit", "clay throttling", "clay 429", "clay retry", "clay backoff".
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill clay-rate-limits-helixdevelopment-helixagent --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
