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 pluginagentmarketplace/custom-plugin-nodejs at adbdacbf26.

    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 establish persistent, full-duplex communication channels over a network using the WebSocket protocol. It allows for real-time data exchange between clients and servers without the overhead of repeatedly establishing HTTP connections.

When to use it

  • Building chat applications that require instant message delivery without page reloads.
  • Developing live dashboards or monitoring tools that need to stream server updates continuously.
  • Creating multiplayer gaming environments where low-latency state synchronization is critical.
  • Implementing real-time collaboration features like shared editing or live cursors in web interfaces.

Key capabilities

  • Establishes persistent TCP connections for long-lived sessions.
  • Facilitates bidirectional communication between client and server.
  • Supports event-driven data transmission over a single connection.
  • Reduces latency compared to traditional request-response HTTP cycles.

Example prompts

  • "Set up a WebSocket server in Node.js to broadcast live stock price updates to connected clients."
  • "Create a chat room feature where messages sent by one user appear instantly for all other participants."
  • "Implement a real-time notification system that pushes alerts from the backend to the frontend immediately upon event occurrence."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your server environment is configured to handle persistent connections, as standard HTTP servers may terminate them prematurely. Be mindful of resource consumption, as keeping thousands of open WebSocket connections active requires careful memory and connection pooling management.
