Does this skill support the latest PHP versions?

Yes, the generated code is optimized for PHP 8.4, utilizing modern syntax like readonly classes and advanced type hinting.

Can I use the generated rate limiter in a distributed environment?

Absolutely. The skill includes a Redis storage implementation that allows rate limits to be shared across multiple web servers or microservices.

What algorithms does the Rate Limiter Generator support?

It supports three primary algorithms: Token Bucket for smooth burst handling, Sliding Window for high-precision time limits, and Fixed Window for simple rate limiting needs.

Does it provide the necessary headers for API clients?

Yes, the generated RateLimitResult class includes logic to automatically generate standard X-RateLimit-* and Retry-After headers for your HTTP responses.
