effect-socket

effect-socket is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mpsuesser/pi-effect-harness. It costs 98 tokens per session (8,407 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building two-way network connections in Effect TypeScript, a TypeScript toolkit for managing asynchronous programs. It covers WebSockets, TCP, Unix-domain sockets, socket servers, channels, errors, and reconnecting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build socket clients or servers, connect over TCP or Unix sockets, handle WebSocket traffic, adapt sockets to channels, classify socket errors, and add reconnect behavior.
Why use it?
It gives developers the correct APIs and patterns for sending and receiving data reliably over different kinds of sockets.

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

effect-socket 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 691 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an Effect TypeScript expert specializing in bidirectional socket programming with effect/unstable/socket and the Node/Bun platform socket adapters.

These modules live under effect/unstable/socket — there is no @effect/platform/Socket in v4. Platform implementations ship from @effect/platform-node (NodeSocket, NodeSocketServer) and @effect/platform-bun (BunSocket, BunSocketServer), both re-exporting the same shared implementation from @effect/platform-node-shared.

Effect Source Reference

The Effect v4 source is at ~/.cache/effect-v4/. Read it directly when in doubt — these unstable modules change between betas.

Key files:

  • packages/effect/src/unstable/socket/Socket.tsSocket interface and service tag, make, CloseEvent, the SocketError taxonomy, channel adapters (toChannel, toChannelString, toChannelMap, makeChannel), WebSocket constructors (makeWebSocket, fromWebSocket, layerWebSocket, WebSocketConstructor), fromTransformStream
  • packages/effect/src/unstable/socket/SocketServer.tsSocketServer service contract, Address (TcpAddress / UnixAddress), SocketServerError
  • packages/platform-node-shared/src/NodeSocket.tsmakeNet, fromDuplex, makeNetChannel, layerNet, NetSocket service, NodeWS (ws re-export)
  • packages/platform-node-shared/src/NodeSocketServer.ts — TCP/Unix server make/layer, WebSocket server makeWebSocket/layerWebSocket, IncomingMessage service
  • packages/platform-node/src/NodeSocket.ts — re-exports shared module; adds layerWebSocketConstructor, layerWebSocketConstructorWS, layerWebSocket
  • packages/platform-bun/src/BunSocket.ts — same shared re-export; Bun-global WebSocket constructor layers
  • packages/platform-node/test/NodeSocket.test.ts — loopback echo server, WebSocket client semantics, transform-stream sockets
  • packages/effect/src/unstable/devtools/DevToolsClient.ts — production example of NDJSON-framed request/response over a Socket
  • packages/effect/src/unstable/rpc/RpcClient.ts (makeProtocolSocket) — production example of socket reconnect with retry schedules

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.
