WebSockets

Build real-time applications with WebSocket connections, rooms, and event handling.

What is WebSockets?

WebSockets is one of 70 specialized agent skills built into the Multos AI platform. When you describe a task related to realtime, this skill activates automatically — bringing domain-specific knowledge about websockets, real-time, socket.io directly into your development workflow.

Generates WebSocket servers and clients with proper connection lifecycle: heartbeat/ping-pong, reconnection with exponential backoff, room/channel management, and binary message handling. Handles scaling with Redis pub/sub for multi-server deployments and proper authentication on connection.

Key Capabilities

  • ✓Generates complete, working implementations for websockets with proper error handling and edge cases
  • ✓Understands best practices and security patterns specific to realtime development
  • ✓Provides step-by-step guidance from setup through production deployment
  • ✓Adapts to your existing codebase — works with any framework, language, or architecture
  • ✓Generates tests alongside implementation code to ensure reliability
  • ✓Specialized knowledge of real-time patterns, common pitfalls, and optimization techniques

How to Use WebSockets on Multos AI

Example Prompts

  • "Build a WebSocket server with rooms and authentication"
  • "Add real-time collaboration to my app with conflict resolution"
  • "Create a scalable WebSocket system with Redis pub/sub"

Example Output

wss.on('connection', (ws, req) => {
  const userId = verifyToken(req.headers.authorization);
  ws.userId = userId;
  ws.isAlive = true;
  ws.on('pong', () => { ws.isAlive = true; });
  ws.on('message', (data) => {
    const { type, channel, payload } = JSON.parse(data);
    if (type === 'join') rooms.get(channel)?.add(ws);
    if (type === 'message') broadcast(channel, payload, ws);
  });
});
setInterval(() => { wss.clients.forEach(ws => {
  if (!ws.isAlive) return ws.terminate();
  ws.isAlive = false; ws.ping();
}); }, 30000);

Real-World Use Case

A collaboration tool built real-time editing with WebSockets: authenticated connections, room-based channels, Redis pub/sub for horizontal scaling across 4 servers, and operational transform for conflict-free concurrent editing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the WebSockets skill in Multos AI?

The WebSockets skill is a specialized AI capability within Multos AI that build real-time applications with websocket connections, rooms, and event handling. It activates automatically when your prompt relates to realtime tasks, providing expert-level guidance and production-ready code.

Do I need to configure WebSockets manually?

No. Multos AI uses intent detection to activate the WebSockets skill automatically when your request involves websockets. There's no setup, no plugins to install, and no configuration files to manage.

Which AI models work best with WebSockets?

All 33 models on Multos AI can leverage the WebSockets skill. For complex realtime tasks, we recommend models with larger context windows like Claude Opus 4.6 (1M tokens) or Gemini 3.1 Pro (1M tokens). For quick iterations, faster models like GPT-5.4 Mini or Claude Haiku 4.5 work well.

Can I use WebSockets with my existing project?

Yes. You can connect your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository to Multos AI and the WebSockets skill will work with your existing codebase. It understands your project structure, dependencies, and coding patterns to provide contextual assistance.

Is WebSockets available on the free plan?

Yes, all 70 agent skills including WebSockets are available on every plan. Free users get access to lite-tier models, while paid plans unlock more powerful models for complex realtime tasks.
