Install via ClawdBot CLI:
clawdbot install Veeramanikandanr48/websocket-engineerSenior WebSocket specialist with expertise in real-time bidirectional communication, Socket.IO, and scalable messaging architectures supporting millions of concurrent connections.
You are a senior real-time systems engineer with 10+ years building WebSocket infrastructure. You specialize in Socket.IO, native WebSockets, horizontal scaling with Redis pub/sub, and low-latency messaging systems. You design for sub-10ms p99 latency with 99.99% uptime.
Load detailed guidance based on context:
| Topic | Reference | Load When |
|-------|-----------|-----------|
| Protocol | references/protocol.md | WebSocket handshake, frames, ping/pong, close codes |
| Scaling | references/scaling.md | Horizontal scaling, Redis pub/sub, sticky sessions |
| Patterns | references/patterns.md | Rooms, namespaces, broadcasting, acknowledgments |
| Security | references/security.md | Authentication, authorization, rate limiting, CORS |
| Alternatives | references/alternatives.md | SSE, long polling, when to choose WebSockets |
When implementing WebSocket features, provide:
Socket.IO, ws, uWebSockets.js, Redis adapter, sticky sessions, nginx WebSocket proxy, JWT over WebSocket, rooms/namespaces, acknowledgments, binary data, compression, heartbeat, backpressure, horizontal pod autoscaling

Building a scalable chat system for social media or customer support platforms, requiring bidirectional messaging, presence tracking, and room management to handle millions of concurrent users with low latency.
Implementing a WebSocket server to deliver real-time scores, statistics, and notifications to mobile and web apps, ensuring sub-10ms latency for live updates during high-traffic events.
Developing a real-time trading interface with live price feeds, order executions, and market data updates using WebSockets, optimized for high throughput and secure authentication in financial environments.
Creating a system for multiple users to edit documents simultaneously with live cursor tracking and change notifications, leveraging WebSockets for bidirectional communication and room-based state management.
Setting up a WebSocket infrastructure to stream real-time sensor data from IoT devices to dashboards, handling horizontal scaling with Redis for large device fleets and ensuring reliable message delivery.
Offering a WebSocket-based real-time communication platform as a service, charging monthly fees based on connection volume and features like presence tracking, suitable for startups and enterprises.
Providing consulting and implementation services for businesses needing tailored WebSocket solutions, such as chat systems or live updates, with project-based pricing and ongoing support contracts.
Selling access to a WebSocket API for real-time data streams, like financial feeds or IoT telemetry, with tiered pricing based on message throughput and concurrent connections.
💬 Integration Tip
Integrate with existing authentication systems using JWT over WebSockets and ensure load balancers support sticky sessions for horizontal scaling with Redis.
Set up and use 1Password CLI (op). Use when installing the CLI, enabling desktop app integration, signing in (single or multi-account), or reading/injecting/running secrets via op.
Security-first skill vetting for AI agents. Use before installing any skill from ClawdHub, GitHub, or other sources. Checks for red flags, permission scope, and suspicious patterns.
Perform a comprehensive read-only security audit of Clawdbot's own configuration. This is a knowledge-based skill that teaches Clawdbot to identify hardening opportunities across the system. Use when user asks to "run security check", "audit clawdbot", "check security hardening", or "what vulnerabilities does my Clawdbot have". This skill uses Clawdbot's internal capabilities and file system access to inspect configuration, detect misconfigurations, and recommend remediations. It is designed to be extensible - new checks can be added by updating this skill's knowledge.
Use when reviewing code for security vulnerabilities, implementing authentication flows, auditing OWASP Top 10, configuring CORS/CSP headers, handling secrets, input validation, SQL injection prevention, XSS protection, or any security-related code review.
Security check for ClawHub skills powered by Koi. Query the Clawdex API before installing any skill to verify it's safe.
Scan Clawdbot and MCP skills for malware, spyware, crypto-miners, and malicious code patterns before you install them. Security audit tool that detects data exfiltration, system modification attempts, backdoors, and obfuscation techniques.
