Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned jpcaparas/superpowers-laravel at c5198b16cd.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

The laravel:rate-limiting skill enables AI agents to configure and manage request throttling within Laravel applications using the framework's built-in rate limiter. It allows agents to define custom rules, set limit durations, and implement middleware to protect endpoints from abuse or excessive traffic.

When to use it

  • Protecting public API endpoints against brute-force attacks or DDoS attempts.
  • Preventing database overload by limiting the frequency of write operations per user.
  • Enforcing fair usage policies for multi-tenant SaaS applications.
  • Throttling non-critical features like image uploads or email sending to avoid service disruption.

Key capabilities

  • Define custom rate limits with specific request counts and time windows (e.g., 60 requests per minute).
  • Apply limit rules globally, per user IP, or based on authenticated user IDs.
  • Implement middleware to automatically reject requests exceeding defined thresholds.
  • Configure different limit strategies for API routes versus web routes.

Example prompts

  • "Create a rate limiter that allows 100 requests per hour for unauthenticated users and 1,000 for authenticated users."
  • "Add rate limiting middleware to all API routes using the throttle strategy with a 5-minute window."
  • "Set up a custom rate limit rule named 'api-tier' that permits 200 requests every 10 minutes for users in the premium tier."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Laravel application is configured to use Redis or Memcached as the cache driver for optimal performance when managing rate limits at scale. Always test rate limiting behavior under load to confirm it correctly blocks excess traffic without disrupting legitimate users.
