Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# SSE Skill Expert assistance for implementing Server-Sent Events for real-time streaming. ## Capabilities - Implement SSE endpoints - Handle streaming responses - Manage client connections - Build event-driven updates - Implement reconnection ## Usage Invoke this skill when you need to: - Stream updates to clients - Implement live feeds - Build notification systems - One-way real-time communication ## Implementation ```typescript // Server app.get('/events', (req, res) => { res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/event-stream'); res.setHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache'); res.setHeader('Connection', 'keep-alive'); const sendEvent = (event: string, data: object) => { res.write(`event: ${event}\n`); res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify(data)}\n\n`); }; // Send initial data sendEvent('connected', { timestamp: Date.now() }); // Subscribe to updates const unsubscribe = eventEmitter.on('update', (data) => { sendEvent('update', data); }); req.on('close', () => { unsubscribe(); }); }); // Client const eventSource = new EventSource('/events'); eventSource.addEventListener('update', (event) => { const data = JSON.parse(event.data); console.log('Update:', data); }); ``` ## Best Practices - Handle r

What does the sse skill do?
Server-Sent Events implementation, streaming patterns, and real-time updates.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill sse --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
