condition-based-waiting

Service startup polling uses a condition function checked repeatedly against a bounded timeout. You call wait_for with the condition, a description, and a timeout to safely wait for readiness without arbitrary sleeps.

Exponential backoff with jitter progressively increases wait times between retries while adding randomization. It is used for API polling and transient failures to prevent thundering herds and distribute retry load safely.

A circuit breaker pattern in Python retry logic stops execution after repeated failures, preventing cascading load. This Skill provides reference implementations to integrate circuit breakers alongside bounded timeouts and logging.

Yes, health check waiting and retry patterns are supported in Bash scripts. The Skill provides ready-to-use reference implementations for both Python and Bash environments to handle rate limit recovery and polling.

Rate limit recovery uses condition-based polling with exponential backoff and jitter. Instead of arbitrary sleeps, it waits predictably for the rate limit condition to clear, ensuring safe retry operations across Python and Bash.
