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 jeffallan/claude-skills at 1be15d8064.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The websocket-engineer skill enables AI agents to manage WebSocket connections, including setting up servers, handling real-time communication, and ensuring secure data transmission over WebSockets. It supports features like message broadcasting, connection management, and integration with backend systems.

When to use it

  • Building real-time chat applications where messages need instant delivery.
  • Implementing live updates in dashboards or collaborative tools.
  • Creating multiplayer games that require low-latency communication between clients.
  • Developing APIs that support bidirectional data flow for IoT devices or streaming services.

Key capabilities

  • WebSocket server setup and configuration
  • Message broadcasting to multiple clients
  • Secure connection handling (e.g., WSS)
  • Integration with backend frameworks and databases

Example prompts

  • "Set up a WebSocket server that broadcasts messages to all connected clients."
  • "Implement secure WebSocket communication for my real-time analytics dashboard."
  • "Handle incoming WebSocket connections and route them to the appropriate handler based on user roles."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your backend framework supports WebSocket protocols before using this skill.
  • Be mindful of potential scalability issues when broadcasting messages to large numbers of clients.
