redis-pubsub

redis-pubsub is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mercuryPark/oc-setup. It costs 32 tokens per session (234 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Redis Pub/Sub, a messaging pattern where one part of an application publishes a message and other parts listening to a channel receive it immediately.

In plain words
What is it for?
Broadcasting chat messages, notifications, and application events across servers using named channels.
Why use it?
It helps send real-time updates between servers without building direct connections between every sender and receiver. Redis Pub/Sub is not intended for messages that must be stored for later delivery.

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

redis-pubsub 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 7d 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

Redis Pub/Sub Guide

Pattern Selection

When to Use Pub/Sub

  • Real-time notifications across servers
  • Chat room message broadcasting
  • Event-driven architecture

When NOT to Use

  • Persistent message queuing (use Streams)
  • Complex routing (use message queues)

Implementation

Basic Pub/Sub

// Publisher
redisClient.publish('chat:room:123', JSON.stringify(message))

// Subscriber
redisClient.subscribe('chat:room:123')
redisClient.on('message', (channel, message) => {
  io.to(channel).emit('new_message', JSON.parse(message))
})

Channel Naming

  • Pattern: {service}:{resource}:{id}
  • Examples:
    • chat:room:123
    • notification:user:456
    • system:broadcast

Best Practices

  • Handle reconnection automatically
  • Implement channel cleanup
  • Monitor memory usage
  • Use pattern matching carefully

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.
