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

The skill provides comprehensive, working code for rate limiting patterns including exponential backoff with jitter, idempotency keys, queue-based throttling, and rate limit monitoring. The description clearly indicates when to use this skill (429 errors, retry logic, throttling). Structure is clean with good tables and examples. However, novelty is limited: a competent CLI agent could implement these standard rate limiting patterns (exponential backoff, idempotency headers, queues) without this skill, as they are well-documented API patterns. The skill is useful for developers unfamiliar with these patterns but doesn't provide unique Windsurf-specific implementation details that would be hard to discover otherwise. The code is production-ready and well-commented, making taskKnowledge strong.
