How do I trigger this skill in Claude Code?

You can trigger it by using phrases like 'groq rate limit', 'groq throttling', 'groq 429', or 'groq retry' when interacting with Claude Code.

How does this skill handle 429 errors?

It implements exponential backoff with jitter to automatically retry requests after an increasing delay, which helps resolve rate limit issues without overloading the server.

Does it support request queueing?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns using tools like p-queue to manage concurrency and maintain a steady request rate that stays within your allotted limits.

What is the benefit of using idempotency keys with Groq?

Idempotency keys ensure that retrying a failed request doesn't result in duplicate operations, which is critical for maintaining data integrity during network instability.

Can I use this for different Groq subscription tiers?

Yes, the skill includes logic and guidance tailored for Free, Pro, and Enterprise tiers, allowing you to adjust limits based on your specific plan.
