agent-realtime-specialist is a skill for Claude Code from travisjneuman/.claude. It costs 26 tokens per session (312 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding specialist for real-time applications that send updates as events happen. It covers WebSockets, which keep a two-way connection open, and Server-Sent Events, which stream updates from a server to a browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build chat, live dashboards, notifications, shared editing, game backends, and other features that need immediate updates.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unreliable live connections, poor reconnect behavior, and scaling problems when many users are connected. It also helps choose between live communication methods.

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

agent-realtime-specialist 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 17d 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.

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.
