About websocket-engineer
websocket-engineer
Building real-time communication systems with WebSockets or Socket.IO
websocket-engineer is an agent skill from the jeffallan claude-skills collection for building real-time communication systems with WebSockets or Socket.IO. It covers bidirectional messaging, rooms and events, authentication on connection, horizontal scaling with Redis, presence, and monitoring. Its workflow has six stages. The agent analyses the connection scale, message volume and latency needs, then plans clustering, pub/sub, state management and failover. It implements the server with authentication, rooms and events. Local validation tests connection handling, auth and room behaviour before scaling, using a tool such as wscat, and confirms that missing or invalid tokens are rejected and that join, leave and message delivery work. The scaling stage verifies the Redis connection and a pub/sub round trip before turning on the adapter, configures sticky sessions, tests connections across several instances and sets up load balancing. The monitoring stage tracks connections, latency, throughput and error rates, with alerts for spikes in connection count and error rates. The skill suits teams building chat, live dashboards or multiplayer features who want the real-time layer checked at each stage. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts and GitHub stars for the collection. Its Gen Agent Trust Hub audit is marked as failing, which the FAQ lists, while Socket and Snyk pass.
