What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the frustration of debugging WebSocket failures by letting you observe, reproduce, and test message behavior directly inside the browser DevTools.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time WebSocket monitoring: Captures WebSocket connections and all sent/received messages with timestamps, sizes, and state changes so you never miss activity.
  • Message simulation: Sends custom client→server or server→client messages to test your handlers without modifying application code.
  • Traffic blocking: Intercepts and blocks messages (including pattern-based rules) to validate reconnection logic, timeouts, retries, and error handling.
  • Favorites for repeatable tests: Saves common messages and scenarios so teams can quickly replay complex debugging flows.

Quick Start

Install the extension, open a page that uses WebSockets, then use the WebSocket DevTools panel to monitor traffic and send a simulated message to reproduce the bug.
