description	Software Mansion's Fishjam — hosted WebRTC platform for video, audio, and one-to-many livestreaming. MUST USE before writing, reviewing, or debugging ANY code that talks to a Fishjam instance from a backend (Node, Python) or a client (React web, React Native / Expo). Routes to platform fundamentals and the right SDK sub-skill.

Fishjam

Software Mansion's hosted WebRTC platform. Routes between platform fundamentals and the four SDKs.

Read the references/platform/SKILL.md first for the domain model (rooms, peers, tracks, tokens, notifications). Then read the SDK sub-skill that matches what you're building. All sub-skills are in references/.

Which sub-skill do I need?

You are writing…	Sub-skill
Anything Fishjam — start here for glossary, room types, auth, notifications, REST	references/platform/SKILL.md
A Node.js / Express / Fastify / Hono backend	references/js-server-sdk/SKILL.md
A Python / FastAPI / Flask backend	references/python-server-sdk/SKILL.md
A React app in a browser	references/react-client/SKILL.md
A React Native / Expo app for iOS or Android	references/react-native-client/SKILL.md
Vanilla TS / Svelte / Vue / web worker (non-React)	references/react-client/SKILL.md → ts-client-escape.md (drop to @fishjam-cloud/ts-client)
Just calling REST directly (no SDK)	references/platform/rest-endpoints.md

A production Fishjam app always has a backend (server SDK) + a client (client SDK). For prototyping you can skip the backend with the Sandbox API — see references/platform/sandbox-vs-production.md.

Critical rules

• Management token never leaves the backend. If it leaks, regenerate it from the Dashboard.
• Peer tokens are valid for 24 hours from creation. The token is consumed during the initial WS handshake; an established session keeps running on its own. If the peer hasn't connected yet or needs to reconnect after 24h, call refreshPeerToken / refresh_peer_token to mint a new one.
• Sandbox API URLs are dev-only. Anyone holding one can create rooms on your account — never ship in a production client build.
