software-realtime

software-realtime is a skill for Codex from vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public. It costs 35 tokens per session (3,928 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building systems that deliver updates immediately or support multiple people working together. It covers chat, live dashboards, notifications, WebSockets, server-sent events, and collaborative editing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design real-time dashboards, chat, notifications, presence, collaborative editing, and recovery from dropped connections.
Why use it?
It helps choose how live updates should travel and how connections, shared state, reconnection, and scaling should work.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

software-realtime 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_ws_smoke.py, scripts/ws_smoke_test.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Real-Time Systems

Use this skill for transport choice, collaborative-state design, presence models, reconnection behavior, and multi-node real-time scaling. It owns SSE, WebSocket, CRDT, and managed real-time decisions, not generic backend APIs or frontend-only state management.

Quick Reference

Task Use

Collaboration, presence, and recovery references/collaboration-patterns.md
Vendor traps and version-pinned gotchas references/april-vendor-traps.md
Edge platforms, CRDT picks, channel limits references/edge-realtime.md
WebSocket smoke test (ping/pong + reconnect) scripts/ws_smoke_test.py
Source map data/sources.json

When to Use This Skill

  • Choose between SSE, WebSocket, managed real-time, or CRDT collaboration.
  • Design chat, live dashboards, notifications, presence, or collaborative editing.
  • Plan reconnection, backpressure, offline queues, and connection lifecycle.
  • Scale WebSocket or collaboration infrastructure across multiple nodes.

Route Elsewhere

Defaults

  • Default to SSE for one-way text/event streaming.
  • Default to WebSocket for bidirectional interactive flows.
  • Default to CRDTs for collaborative editing and keep awareness separate from document state.
  • Treat presence as its own data model with throttling and expiry rules.
  • Design reconnects, idempotency, and slow-consumer handling before worrying about horizontal scale.

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.
