signalr

signalr is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from managedcode/dotnet-skills. It costs 109 tokens per session (2,705 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building real-time features in ASP.NET Core with SignalR, a framework for sending updates between a server and connected clients. It covers hubs, streaming, reconnection, groups, and scaling across servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for chat, notifications, collaboration tools, live updates, and broadcasts to groups of connected clients. It also helps decide whether SignalR fits a real-time feature.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common problems with connection state, reconnection, authentication, message delivery, and sending updates to many users.

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

signalr 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 1mo 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.

SignalR

Trigger On

  • building chat, notification, collaboration, or live-update features
  • debugging hub lifetime, connection state, or transport issues
  • deciding whether SignalR or another transport better fits the scenario
  • implementing real-time broadcasting to groups of connected clients
  • scaling SignalR across multiple servers

Documentation

References

  • patterns.md - Detailed hub patterns, streaming, groups, presence, and advanced messaging techniques
  • anti-patterns.md - Common SignalR mistakes and how to avoid them

Workflow

  1. Use SignalR for broadcast-style or connection-oriented real-time features; do not force gRPC into hub-style fan-out scenarios.
  2. Model hub contracts intentionally and keep hub methods thin, delegating durable work elsewhere.
  3. Plan for reconnection, backpressure, auth, and fan-out costs instead of treating real-time messaging as stateless request/response.
  4. Use groups, presence, and connection metadata deliberately so scale-out behavior is understandable.
  5. If Native AOT or trimming is in play, validate supported protocols and serialization choices explicitly.
  6. Test connection behavior and failure modes, not just happy-path message delivery.

Current Upstream Notes

  • dotnet/aspnetcore v10.0.11 is a servicing release and does not change the SignalR programming model. Keep guidance focused on hub contract design, reconnection, transport, authorization, and scale-out validation.
  • The August 2026 ASP.NET Core overview still positions SignalR for real-time server/client communication. After servicing updates, rerun at least one reconnect and group-broadcast smoke path because dependency updates can expose client/server package mismatches.

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.

signalr is a skill published in the GitHub repository managedcode/dotnet-skills (496 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 2,705 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
