Managedcode Orleans Signalr

What it does

When your agent uses it

• : Orleans backplane setup
• Grain-to-hub publishing
• Client-invocation failures
• : ordinary SignalR without Orleans

Example prompts

• “/managedcode-orleans-signalr”

Requirements

• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a .NET application with compatible Orleans and ASP.NET Core SignalR packages; use aligned ManagedCode.Orleans.SignalR Client and Server versions.

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Choose combined or separate silo/endpoint hosts and align packages, clustering, partition options, and named storage.
2. 2Configure authenticated connection, user, and group targeting.
3. 3Keep publishing at an explicit domain-event boundary and decide whether bounded offline retention is sufficient.
4. 4Exercise live delivery, reconnect replay, queue limits, heartbeat cleanup, and interrupted client invocations.
5. 5Before upgrades, validate prior persisted payloads with the production serializer and choose an explicit compatibility or…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 535dd55. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • dotnet

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • github.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  Requires a .NET application with compatible Orleans and ASP.NET Core SignalR packages; use aligned ManagedCode.Orleans.SignalR Client and Server versions.

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Managedcode Orleans Signalr loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 579 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~116

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Integrate ManagedCode.Orleans.SignalR for grain-driven SignalR delivery, connection and group routing, offline user queues, and restart-safe state. USE FOR: Orleans backplane setup, grain-to-hub publishing, reconnect, heartbeat, and client-invocation failures. DO NOT USE FOR: ordinary SignalR without Orleans or unrelated persistence. INVOKES: inspect configuration, implement the integration, and validate connected-client delivery.

compatibility

Requires a .NET application with compatible Orleans and ASP.NET Core SignalR packages; use aligned ManagedCode.Orleans.SignalR Client and Server versions.

dotnet add package ManagedCode.Orleans.SignalR.Server --version 10.3.0
dotnet add package ManagedCode.Orleans.SignalR.Client --version 10.3.0

using ManagedCode.Orleans.SignalR.Server.Extensions;

    silo.UseLocalhostClustering();
    silo.ConfigureOrleansSignalR();

{
    options.ConnectionPartitionCount = 4;
    options.GroupPartitionCount = 4;
    options.KeepMessageInterval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5);
    options.MaxQueuedMessagesPerUser = 100;
});

var app = builder.Build();
app.MapHub<UpdatesHub>("/updates");
app.Run();
