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 aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    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

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to create and manage webhooks, allowing them to send real-time HTTP POST requests to external endpoints when specific events occur. It facilitates seamless integration between the agent and other services by handling payload construction, URL configuration, and delivery logic.

When to use it

  • Automated Notifications: Trigger alerts or status updates to a Slack channel or email service immediately after a task completes.
  • Data Synchronization: Push new records generated by the agent directly into a database or spreadsheet in real-time.
  • Third-Party Integrations: Connect with external APIs (e.g., Zapier, IFTTT) to automate workflows across different platforms without manual intervention.
  • Event Listening: Set up listeners for specific triggers, such as new file uploads or form submissions, to initiate downstream actions.

Key capabilities

  • Generate unique webhook URLs for event listening.
  • Construct and send HTTP POST requests with custom JSON payloads.
  • Configure headers and authentication tokens for secure communication.
  • Manage retry logic and error handling for failed deliveries.

Example prompts

  • "Create a webhook that sends a notification to my Slack channel whenever I finish writing a blog post."
  • "Set up an endpoint to receive new user sign-ups from my landing page and store them in Google Sheets."
  • "Configure a webhook to trigger a Zapier automation when a specific file is uploaded to my cloud storage."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your external endpoints are publicly accessible or use a tunneling service if they are local, as webhooks require internet connectivity. Always test your payload structure and authentication headers before deploying in production to avoid silent failures.
