What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers integrate reliable real-time communication into Next.js frontends without duplicating socket connections or scattering event logic across components.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Event Handling Patterns: Provides hooks and examples for subscribing, unsubscribing, emitting events, and handling server responses or pushes.
• Use Case: Build chat features, live notifications, collaborative interfaces, or other real-time experiences while keeping socket logic separated from presentation components.
