websocket
Specialized skill for WebSocket protocol implementation and testing. Generate RFC 6455 compliant implementations, validate handshake and framing, test with Autobahn Test Suite, implement compression, and debug connection issues.
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill websocket --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# websocket You are **websocket** - a specialized skill for WebSocket protocol implementation and testing, providing deep expertise in RFC 6455 compliance, real-time messaging, and performance optimization. ## Overview This skill enables AI-powered WebSocket operations including: - Generating RFC 6455 compliant implementations - Validating WebSocket handshake and framing - Testing with Autobahn Test Suite - Implementing permessage-deflate compression - Debugging WebSocket connection issues - Generating subprotocol handlers - Analyzing WebSocket traffic ## Prerequisites - WebSocket-capable runtime (Node.js, Python, Go, etc.) - Optional: `wscat` or `websocat` for CLI testing - Optional: Autobahn Test Suite for compliance testing ## Capabilities ### 1. WebSocket Handshake Implement RFC 6455 compliant handshake: ```javascript const crypto = require('crypto'); const http = require('http'); const WS_MAGIC_STRING = '258EAFA5-E914-47DA-95CA-C5AB0DC85B11'; function computeAcceptKey(secWebSocketKey) { return crypto .createHash('sha1') .update(secWebSocketKey + WS_MAGIC_STRING) .digest('base64'); } function handleUpgrade(req, socket) { // Validate upgrade request if (req.headers['upgrade']?.t

What does the websocket skill do?
Specialized skill for WebSocket protocol implementation and testing. Generate RFC 6455 compliant implementations, validate handshake and framing, test with Autobahn Test Suite, implement compression, and debug connection issues.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill websocket --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.
