Quick Review

This skill provides solid technical implementation for handling Windsurf API rate limits with exponential backoff, jitter, and idempotency patterns. The description clearly indicates when to use it (rate limit errors, 429s, retry logic), and the code examples are production-ready with proper TypeScript typing. Task knowledge is strong with concrete rate limit tiers, backoff algorithms, and monitoring patterns. Structure is clean with logical progression from understanding limits to implementation to monitoring. However, novelty is limited since rate limiting with exponential backoff is a well-established pattern that a capable CLI agent could implement with standard prompting, though the Windsurf-specific header handling and tier information adds some value. The skill would benefit most developers working with this specific API, but doesn't represent a particularly complex or token-intensive task that dramatically reduces AI agent cost.
