What this skill does
Ably Ably is a realtime data delivery platform. Developers use it to build live and collaborative experiences in their applications. Official docs: https://ably.com/documentation Ably Overview Channel Channel Details Token Request Working with Ably This skill uses the Membrane CLI to interact with Ably. Membrane handles authentication and credentials refresh automatically — so you can focus on the integration logic rather than auth plumbing.

Headless environments: The command will print an authorization URL. Ask the user to open it in a browser. When they see a code after completing login, finish with: Add --json to any command for machine-readable JSON output. Agent Types : claude, openclaw, codex, warp, windsurf, etc. Those will be used to adjust tooling to be used best with your harness Connecting to Ably Use membrane connection ensure to find or create a connection by app URL or domain: The user completes authentication in the browser. The output contains the new connection id. This is the fastest way to get a connection. The URL is normalized to a domain and matched against known apps. If no app is found, one is created and a connector is built automatically. If the returned connection has state: "READY", skip to Step 2. 1b. Wait for the connection to be ready If the connection is in BUILDING state, poll until it's ready: The --wait flag long-polls (up to --timeout seconds, default 30) until the state changes. Keep polling until state is no longer BUILDING. The resulting state tells you what to do next: READY — connection is fully set up. Skip to Step 2. CLIENTACTIONREQUIRED — the user or agent needs to do something. …
