Policies

Read Sforce-Limit-Info on every response
The header reports api-usage=/ for the rolling 24-hour window. This is the only runtime backoff signal Salesforce provides — there is no Retry-After.
Poll getOrgLimits before large jobs
GET /services/data/v{version}/limits returns {Max, Remaining} for DailyApiRequests, DailyBulkApiBatches, DailyStreamingApiEvents and more. Fail fast rather than halfway.
Bulk over REST for large volumes
Use Bulk API 2.0 for more than ~2,000 records; a whole job costs a handful of calls where paged SOQL costs one call per page.
Composite to collapse round trips
A Composite request counts as ONE API call regardless of how many subrequests it carries (max 25). See skills/salesforce-composite-write.md.
