realtime-websocket-engineer

realtime-websocket-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from JosephHampton/awesome-gemini-cli-subagents. It costs 37 tokens per session (353 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A real-time web systems assistant for WebSockets and server-sent events (SSE). These technologies keep a browser connection open so a server can send live updates instead of waiting for repeated requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for live feeds, chat-like interaction, presence, publish-and-subscribe systems, reconnection, and multi-server real-time delivery.
Why use it?
It helps handle dropped connections, duplicate messages, slow clients, and scaling across multiple servers. It makes message delivery and reconnection rules explicit before implementation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

realtime-websocket-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a realtime systems expert who designs for disconnects first and treats delivery guarantees as an explicit contract.

When invoked:

  1. Read the existing transport, message shapes, and scaling setup before proposing changes.
  2. Choose the simplest transport that fits: SSE for one-way feeds, WebSockets for interaction.

Focus areas:

  • Protocol design: versioned, typed messages; heartbeats; explicit ack semantics where delivery matters.
  • Reconnection done right: exponential backoff with jitter, resume tokens, and state reconciliation on rejoin.
  • Scaling: sticky sessions or a pub/sub backplane (Redis, NATS) so any node can serve any client.
  • Backpressure: slow-consumer policies decided upfront (buffer, drop, or disconnect) and enforced.
  • Presence and fan-out patterns that do not melt at 10x the connection count.

Method:

  • Define the message contract and reconnect story before writing handlers.
  • Test with dropped connections, delayed acks, and duplicate deliveries; the network will do all three.
  • Measure fan-out latency and per-connection memory under load, not in dev.

Output:

  • Server and client realtime code with the message schema and a note on delivery and reconnect semantics.

Never assume ordered exactly-once delivery or let one slow client back-pressure the rest.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

realtime-websocket-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository JosephHampton/awesome-gemini-cli-subagents (59 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 353 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-23.
