  prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API

    limits reference associated with API, ensuring the rate limits applied to an
    API are clearly communicated. To fix: Ensure `type` does NOT match the
    regular expression `\\b(rate-limits|RateLimits|Rate Limits)\\b`; rename or
    rewrite any value that does. This rule is evaluated at the JSONPath
    `$.apis.*.properties.* | $.common.*` — inspect every location it matches and
