Rate Limit Handoff Bridge v1.0

Price: $4.99

Category: orchestration

What it does

Rate Limit Handoff Bridge creates clean, privacy-aware handoff packets when an AI coding agent is interrupted by rate limits, context exhaustion, or tool outages. It captures the task, blocker, git state, recent repo evidence, and next steps so another agent or human can resume without relying on incomplete chat history.

Use cases

AI coding teams transferring unfinished work between Claude Code, Codex/OpenClaw, Cursor, Gemini, Grok, or ACP harnesses.
Release managers preserving repo evidence and blockers when automation pauses mid-pipeline.
Consultants and agencies handing work between operators while keeping safety notes and resume steps explicit.

Requirements

Python 3.10+ with standard library only.
Git available when repo state should be captured; non-git folders return deterministic unavailable fields.
No API keys required.
OpenClaw skill runtime compatible with local Python scripts; validated in the 2026-05-17 pipeline on OpenClaw v2026.3.23.

Example usage


python3 scripts/rate_limit_handoff_bridge.py \
  --repo /path/to/repo \
  --task "finish checkout refactor" \
  --blocker "rate_limit" \
  --next-steps "review git diff; run unit tests; continue refactor" \
  --format json

Expected output


{
  "repo_available": true,
  "git_repository": true,
  "blocker": "rate_limit",
  "git_status": "M src/checkout.py",
  "handoff_reason": "rate_limit",
  "current_state": {
    "git_status": "M src/checkout.py",
    "diff_stat": "src/checkout.py | 12 ++++++------",
    "recent_commits": "abc1234 Start checkout refactor"
  },
  "resume_plan": [
    "review git diff",
    "run unit tests",
    "continue refactor"
  ]
}

Marketing copy

Stop losing momentum when an AI coding session hits a wall. Rate Limit Handoff Bridge packages the repo state, blocker reason, git evidence, current task, resume plan, and transfer safety notes into Markdown or JSON so the next agent can pick up cleanly — with sensitive output-path protections and deterministic git evidence built in.
