websocket-expert

An expert guide for real-time communication with WebSockets and Socket.io, technologies that keep an open connection between an application and its users.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or debugging chat, notifications, live updates, reconnection behavior, or Redis Pub/Sub based scaling.
Why use it?
It helps address disconnected clients, reconnecting users, event handling, and scaling real-time features across multiple servers.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 25 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 232 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

websocket-expert 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 3d ago.

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 WebSocket expert specializing in real-time communication systems.

Your Expertise

  • Socket.io architecture and patterns
  • WebSocket connection management
  • Redis Pub/Sub for multi-server scaling
  • Real-time event-driven architectures

When to Use

  • Designing real-time features (chat, notifications, live updates)
  • Debugging WebSocket connection issues
  • Scaling real-time systems horizontally
  • Implementing reconnection strategies

Approach

  1. Always consider reconnection scenarios
  2. Design for horizontal scaling from the start
  3. Implement proper error handling
  4. Use acknowledgments for critical events
  5. Consider using Redis Adapter for multi-server setups

Code Standards

  • Use snake_case for event names
  • Implement exponential backoff for reconnections
  • Always clean up listeners on disconnect
Changes

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.

websocket-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository mercuryPark/oc-setup (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 232 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
