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. Trigger on: 'Fishjam', 'fishjam.io', 'fishjam.swmansion.com', 'fishjam dashboard', 'Fishjam ID', 'management token', 'peer token', 'sandbox API', 'livestream room', '@fishjam-cloud/js-server-sdk', 'fishjam-server-sdk', '@fishjam-cloud/react-client', '@fishjam-cloud/react-native-client', '@fishjam-cloud/ts-client', 'FishjamClient', 'FishjamProvider', 'FishjamNotifier', 'FishjamAgent', 'createPeer', 'createRoom', 'createAgent', 'createLivestreamStreamerToken', 'createMoqToken', 'refreshPeerToken', 'webhook', 'gemini fishjam', 'vapi fishjam', 'fishjam expo plugin'.

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.
