Quick Review

This skill provides comprehensive, production-ready code for handling Exa API rate limiting with exponential backoff, jitter, idempotency keys, and queue-based throttling. The description clearly indicates when to use this skill (429 errors, retry logic, throughput optimization). Task knowledge is excellent with detailed TypeScript implementations, rate limit tier tables, and monitoring patterns. Structure is clean with logical progression from understanding limits to implementation to monitoring. However, novelty is moderate - while the combined implementation is valuable, rate limiting with exponential backoff is a well-established pattern that experienced developers could implement from scratch. The skill's main value is packaging best practices together (jitter, idempotency, queue management) rather than solving a uniquely complex problem. A CLI agent could construct basic retry logic, but this skill saves significant tokens and ensures production-grade patterns are followed correctly.
