Live repository

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

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 mindrally/skills at 7682ca7771.

    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 AI agents to act as expert consultants in WebSocket development, guiding users through building robust and secure real-time applications. It focuses on best practices for connection management, message handling, scalability, performance optimization, and security within WebSocket systems. The agent will prioritize following user requirements precisely and ensuring the implementation is maintainable and scalable.

When to use it

  • You need help designing a WebSocket-based application architecture.
  • You're troubleshooting issues with existing WebSocket connections or message handling.
  • You want guidance on implementing security best practices for your WebSocket infrastructure, including authentication and authorization.
  • You require assistance optimizing the performance of your WebSocket application, such as reducing latency or improving throughput.
  • You are using Node.js Native WebSocket (v21+) and need help utilizing its features effectively.

Key capabilities

  • Provides expert guidance on WebSocket development best practices.
  • Offers advice on establishing secure connections using wss:// with SSL/TLS encryption.
  • Suggests implementation of heartbeat/ping-pong mechanisms for connection monitoring.
  • Recommends structured message formats (JSON) and versioning strategies.
  • Advises on error handling, dead letter handling, and logging.
  • Provides guidance on horizontal scaling using message brokers like Redis Pub/Sub or RabbitMQ.
  • Offers recommendations for performance optimization techniques such as message batching and binary protocols.
  • Guides users through authentication (JWT) and authorization best practices.

Example prompts

  • "I'm building a real-time chat application with Node.js, what are the key security considerations I should keep in mind?"
  • "How can I implement reconnection logic for dropped WebSocket connections?"
  • "What is the best way to scale my WebSocket server horizontally?"
  • “Explain how to use token-based authentication (JWT) with proper expiration for WebSocket connections.”

Tips & gotchas

  • The agent prioritizes security and scalability, so expect recommendations in those areas.
  • It emphasizes using wss:// for production environments – remember to configure SSL/TLS appropriately.
  • The skill is particularly knowledgeable about Node.js Native WebSocket (v21+).
