socket-io

socket-io is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mercuryPark/oc-setup. It costs 33 tokens per session (306 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building real-time web communication with Socket.IO, a library that sends events between browsers and servers without waiting for regular page requests. It covers connections, event handling, errors, reconnection, and multi-server setups.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build chat, notifications, live updates, and other event-driven features with reconnection, acknowledgments, namespaces, and scaling considerations.
Why use it?
Real-time features must cope with dropped connections, failed events, and servers running across multiple machines. The guide provides patterns for handling those situations predictably.

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

socket-io 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 2mo 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

Socket.io Development Guide

Connection Management

Client Connection

  • Always implement reconnection strategy
  • Handle connection errors gracefully
  • Use namespaces for feature separation

Server Setup

const io = new Server(server, {
  cors: { origin: process.env.CLIENT_URL },
  pingTimeout: 60000,
  pingInterval: 25000
})

Event Patterns

Naming Convention

  • Use snake_case for event names
  • Prefix: user_, system_, room_
  • Example: user_message_sent, system_notification

Acknowledgment Pattern

// Client
socket.emit('send_message', data, (ack) => {
  if (ack.error) handleError(ack.error)
})

// Server
socket.on('send_message', async (data, callback) => {
  try {
    await saveMessage(data)
    callback({ success: true })
  } catch (err) {
    callback({ error: err.message })
  }
})

Error Handling

  • Implement connection state recovery
  • Handle middleware errors
  • Log socket errors for debugging
  • Graceful degradation on connection loss

Scaling

  • Use Redis Adapter for multi-server setups
  • Implement sticky sessions
  • Consider horizontal scaling early

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.
