quota-gate — Pre-Delegation Quota Check
Run this before dispatching Auto-Claude specs, bop dispatcher waves, or any
multi-agent work session. It reads live quota from bop providers and gives
a go/warn/block recommendation.
Usage
nu ~/.claude/skills/quota-gate/gate.nu
nu ~/.claude/skills/quota-gate/gate.nu --warn-at 70
nu ~/.claude/skills/quota-gate/gate.nu --block-at 85
Or invoke as a skill — I will run it and interpret the output for you.
What it shows
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
QUOTA GATE — pre-delegation check
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Claude Code 5h ████████░░ 82% ⚠ reset in 1h 12m
7d █████░░░░░ 53% ✓
Codex CLI session ██░░░░░░░░ 21% ✓
weekly ███░░░░░░░ 34% ✓
Gemini CLI Pro █████░░░░░ 48% ✓
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RECOMMENDATION
⚠ Claude 5h window at 82% — consider Codex for next wave
✓ Codex has 79% headroom — good for 3–5 subtask specs
✓ Gemini has 52% headroom — available for parallel specs
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
GO — dispatch with caution (Claude 5h near limit)
Thresholds
| Level | Usage | Symbol | Meaning |
|---|
| OK | <70% | ✓ green | Full headroom, dispatch freely |
| WARN | 70–89% | ⚠ amber | Caution — prefer alternative provider |
| BLOCK | ≥90% | ✗ red | Do not dispatch to this provider |
Overall verdict:
- GO — at least one provider has <70% on primary window
- CAUTION — all providers 70–89%; dispatch small batches only
- HOLD — all providers ≥90%; wait for reset before dispatching
Integration with dispatch.nu
Add to the top of any dispatch wave:
# Check quota before launching wave
nu ~/.claude/skills/quota-gate/gate.nu
if $env.LAST_EXIT_CODE != 0 {
print "⚠ quota gate blocked dispatch — check providers"
exit 1
}
As a pre-delegation reflex
Before saying "dispatch spec 035" or "run the next wave", I will automatically
invoke this gate and report headroom. If Claude 5h is >80%, I will recommend
routing to Codex or Gemini instead.
