rate-budget

rate-budget is a skill for Claude Code from leopu00/job-hunter-team. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,044 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A rate-limit budget snapshot for the service currently being used. It shows recent usage, speed, projected usage, time until reset, and a suggested pace.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a team of agents and when checking whether to slow down, continue, or change the number of agents.
Why use it?
It helps the agent plan work before hitting the provider's usage limit. The snapshot is read from an existing monitor, so checking it does not make another provider request.

Getting it into your agent

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rate-budget scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

rate-budget — rate-limit budget snapshot

The monitoring bridge (.launcher/sentinel-bridge.py) polls the active provider every 1–10 min (dynamic — more often under pressure) and writes each sample to /jht_home/logs/sentinel-data.jsonl. This skill reads only the latest sample that's already been written — no extra provider call.

Primary: the SAME tick the Sentinella gets

Run with no argument (or tick):

python3 /app/shared/skills/rate_budget.py tick

You get the exact same message the bridge sends to the Sentinella — the bridge renders it every tick into logs/last-tick.txt and this reads it back (zero provider calls, zero divergence). Three airy sections + a bridge hint:

Read it like this — la velocità è IL segnale (proj è solo INFO volatile):

  • ogni sezione ha velocità attuale (usage consumato / tempo trascorso) vs target (quanto manca / tempo che resta), stessa unità %/h. Lo scarto [+X%/-X%] è il giudizio.
  • 5h = il soffitto del provider (lock a 100% prima del reset). Oggi = il budget del giorno. Settimana = budget + debito.
  • velocità sotto target su tutte → c'è margine → spawn graduale (C-02). Velocità sopra target → frena / non spawnare. Segui il 🧭 CONSIGLIO, ma decidi tu (C-01).

If output is NO_DATA: the bridge hasn't written a tick yet (not started, or off-hours). Wait 1–2 min and retry.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
