WebSocket Skill
Expert assistance for implementing WebSocket real-time communication.
Capabilities
- Implement WebSocket servers
- Handle connection lifecycle
- Build pub/sub patterns
- Scale with Redis adapter
- Implement reconnection logic
- Handle authentication
Usage
Invoke this skill when you need to:
- Add real-time features
- Build chat applications
- Implement live updates
- Handle bidirectional communication
Server Implementation
import { WebSocketServer, WebSocket } from 'ws';
import { createServer } from 'http';
const server = createServer();
const wss = new WebSocketServer({ server });
const clients = new Map<string, WebSocket>();
wss.on('connection', (ws, req) => {
const userId = authenticateConnection(req);
clients.set(userId, ws);
ws.on('message', (data) => {
const message = JSON.parse(data.toString());
handleMessage(userId, message);
});
ws.on('close', () => {
clients.delete(userId);
});
});
function broadcast(message: object) {
const data = JSON.stringify(message);
clients.forEach((client) => {
if (client.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
client.send(data);
}
});
}
Best Practices
- Implement heartbeat/ping-pong
- Handle reconnection gracefully
- Use message queues for scaling
- Authenticate connections
Target Processes
- real-time-features
- chat-application
- live-updates
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
