README

rate-limit-guard

A Claude Code mod that protects long multi-agent runs from the 5-hour usage limit. When the window reaches a threshold (default 90%) it:

tells every running subagent to stop at a safe point and write a checkpoint,
tells the orchestrator to collect their replies, write its own checkpoint and stop,
waits for the window to reset, then prompts the orchestrator to read the checkpoints and continue.

Only the `five_hour` window is watched, and only on a subscription (on API billing there are no rate-limit windows to read).

Install

/plugin install rate-limit-guard --marketplace sciccolella/claude-ratelimit-mod

Options

Option	Default	Meaning
`threshold`	90	Percent of the 5-hour window that triggers the stop
`checkpointDir`	`.claude/checkpoints`	Where checkpoints are written
`autoResume`	true	Prompt the orchestrator to continue after the reset
`resumeBufferSeconds`	60	Extra seconds to wait after the reset time
`resumeMode`	`continue`	`continue` keeps the full transcript, `compact` compacts the session, `clear` runs `/clear` before resuming. `/rate-limit-guard-resume-mode` overrides it for one session

Checkpoint files

Agents: /--.md, with the exact path given in each agent's stop message.
Orchestrator: /orchestrator-.md.
is the first 8 hex chars of the SHA-256 of the session id. The resume prompt only reads files with the current session's hash.

Commands

Each command also has a short name: `/rlg-status`, `/rlg-resume-mode`, `/rlg-rearm`.

/rate-limit-guard-status shows each rate-limit window the API reports (percentage and reset time), the guard state (armed or draining) and the resume mode in effect. In testing only the 5-hour window was reported; a weekly window did not appear, so the guard watches the 5-hour window only.
