{api-rate-limit-policy}
Design the rate-limit policy a public API publishes to its consumers - the metering model per paradigm (REST request counting vs GraphQL cost points), tier and quota-vs-burst numbers, multi-tenant fairness, rate-limit headers (legacy X-RateLimit-* vs IETF RateLimit fields), 429 and Retry-After behavior, enterprise and partner overrides, and change-notice rules. Use whenever the user mentions rate limits, quotas, throttling tiers, 429 responses, noisy neighbors, or limit-increase requests - even if they never say "rate-limit policy". Policy layer only, not gateway configuration. Do NOT use for the 429 error envelope - use samber/developer-platform-skills@api-error-design instead.

Skill graphHow this page is produced
The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.
Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.
Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.
An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
