Implement Hootsuite rate limiting, backoff, and idempotency patterns. Use when handling rate limit errors, implementing retry logic, or optimizing API request throughput for Hootsuite. Trigger with phrases like "hootsuite rate limit", "hootsuite throttling", "hootsuite 429", "hootsuite retry", "hootsuite backoff".
npx claudepluginhub flight505/skill-forge --plugin hootsuite-packThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
Handle Hootsuite API rate limits. The API returns `429 Too Many Requests` with `Retry-After` headers when limits are exceeded.
Guides Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR): 'use cache' directives, cacheLife(), cacheTag(), revalidateTag() for caching, invalidation, static/dynamic optimization. Auto-activates on cacheComponents: true.
Guides building MCP servers enabling LLMs to interact with external services via tools. Covers best practices, TypeScript/Node (MCP SDK), Python (FastMCP).

| Message scheduling | ~100/hour | Per hour |
| Media upload | ~50/hour | Per hour |
| Token refresh | ~10/hour | Per hour |
