Journey Realtime Agent Skill

Use as the realtime build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the Realtime section of 02-plan.md by delegating to the realtime skill. Calls manage_realtime (configure) to enable WebSocket subscriptions on the listed tables. Skipped if the plan has no realtime needs.

Journey: Realtime

Stage 3h of the guided journey. Enable WebSocket subscriptions per the plan.

When to use

Dispatched by journey when current_stage: realtime.
Directly via /butterbase-skills:journey-realtime.
Skipped (annotated (n/a)) if the plan has no Realtime section.

Preflight

If docs/butterbase/03-preflight.md is missing, older than 24 hours, or 00-state.md has app_id: null, invoke butterbase-skills:journey-preflight first. Wait for it to return successfully before proceeding.

Inputs

docs/butterbase/02-plan.md — the Realtime section.
docs/butterbase/00-state.md — for app_id.

Procedure

Refresh docs. Call butterbase_docs with topic: "realtime". For WebSocket subscription shape and RLS interaction, also WebFetch https://docs.butterbase.ai/realtime. Skip if cache is fresh.

Read the Realtime section. Print it back: "About to enable realtime on: <tables>. Proceed?". Wait for yes.
Invoke butterbase-skills:realtime via the Skill tool with the realtime plan and app_id. The wrapped skill calls manage_realtime action: configure per table and reminds the user that RLS still applies to subscribed rows.
Verify with manage_realtime action: get.
Append one line to docs/butterbase/04-build-log.md:

<ISO timestamp> realtime manage_realtime ok

Tick - [x] realtime in 00-state.md, set current_stage: to the next unchecked stage.
Return to journey orchestrator (or ask "Continue to the next stage? (yes/no)").

Outputs

Realtime configured tables.
One line in 04-build-log.md.

Anti-patterns

❌ Enabling realtime on a table whose RLS hasn't been configured — clients will connect but see no events.
