Details
From the project READMEHookdeck
| What you want to do | Skill |
|---|---|
| Receive and process webhooks | event-gateway |
| Route events between third-party services | event-gateway |
| Build asynchronous APIs (IoT, SDKs, web analytics) | event-gateway |
| Test and debug webhooks on localhost | event-gateway |
| Send webhooks/events to customers | outpost |
| Get a free webhook test URL, or see what a webhook sent (no account) | inspect |
Both event-gateway and inspect can forward webhooks to localhost. With no Hookdeck account, or when the user just needs a URL, use inspect. For a lasting setup with an account, use event-gateway.
Event Gateway
Inbound event infrastructure. One skill covers all use cases: staged integration workflow, connections, rules, authentication, local dev, monitoring, and API.
For Event Gateway operations and analysis, prefer hookdeck gateway ...; root hookdeck connection ... remains a deprecated compatibility alias.

Outbound event delivery to HTTP, SQS, RabbitMQ, Pub/Sub, and more.

Inspect
Free webhook test URLs, with no account or login: create a URL with one HTTP call, wait for webhooks to arrive, and read their headers and exact bodies as JSON.

- Install:
npx skills add hookdeck/agent-skills --skill inspect - Docs: https://inspect.hookdeck.com/llms.txt
Provider Webhook Skills
For provider-specific webhook knowledge (Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, etc.),
see hookdeck/webhook-skills.
The event-gateway skill references these during the scaffold stage. Non-interactive install: use -y -g on npx skills add hookdeck/webhook-skills --skill <provider>-webhooks so the Skills CLI does not prompt (details: provider-webhooks-checklist.md).
