Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned hookdeck/webhook-skills at e9d1b145a4.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The GitHub Webhooks skill enables AI agents to listen for and react to real-time events within a GitHub repository. It allows agents to trigger automated workflows or send notifications whenever specific actions, like commits or pull requests, occur in your codebase.

When to use it

  • Automate deployment pipelines immediately after a successful merge to production.
  • Notify team members via Slack or email when critical security patches are pushed.
  • Trigger code analysis tools automatically upon the creation of a new issue.
  • Update project documentation dynamically when major version tags are released.

Key capabilities

  • Monitors specific GitHub events such as pushes, pull requests, issues, and releases.
  • Delivers webhook payloads to configured endpoints for immediate processing.
  • Supports filtering to ensure agents only react to relevant repository activities.

Example prompts

  • "Set up a listener that alerts the engineering team whenever a 'critical' label is added to an issue."
  • "Configure an agent to automatically run security scans on every pull request targeting the main branch."
  • "Create a workflow that posts a summary of recent commits to our project dashboard when a new release is published."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your webhook endpoint is secured with valid signatures to prevent unauthorized access from malicious actors. Be mindful of rate limits, as excessive event generation could trigger throttling from GitHub's servers.
