Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned 1 Oct 2026

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned workshop-ventures/skills at 3cce58d9c1.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables real-time, bidirectional communication between an AI agent and a server using WebSockets. It facilitates persistent connections, allowing for immediate data transfer without constant requests. This is ideal for applications requiring low latency updates or interactive experiences.

When to use it

Live Chatbots: Powering instant messaging functionality with users.
Real-time Dashboards: Updating visualizations and metrics dynamically as new data arrives.
Multiplayer Games: Managing interactions between players in a game environment.
Streaming Data Applications: Handling continuous streams of data, such as stock prices or sensor readings.

Key capabilities

WebSocket connection management
Bidirectional data transmission
Persistent connections
Real-time updates

Example prompts

"Connect to the WebSocket server at ws://example.com/ws."
"Send the message 'Hello, server!' over the WebSocket."
"Listen for incoming messages on the WebSocket and print them to the console."

Tips & gotchas

Requires a compatible backend server that supports WebSockets. Ensure proper error handling is implemented to manage connection issues gracefully.
