Give API consumers limits they can plan around.
What it does
Designs a public API's published rate-limit contract so integrators can anticipate throttling, understand their limits, and request overrides.
When to use it
Use for rate limits, quotas, throttling tiers, 429 responses, noisy neighbors, or limit-increase requests, but not gateway configuration or error-envelope design.
How to use it
Give it a rate-limit policy problem; it asks batched questions about the API and its constraints, then designs the published policy.
