Skill UI

This skill provides expertise in proven backend architectural patterns, including Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, and Domain-Driven Design (DDD). It guides users in building highly maintainable, testable, and scalable systems. Use it when designing new services, refactoring complex monoliths, establishing team standards, or planning microservice decompositions. It emphasizes defining clear boundaries and handling complex, durable workflows.

This guide details the Hexagonal Architecture (Ports and Adapters) pattern, a robust method for decoupling core business logic from external infrastructure concerns. It teaches how to structure applications to make the domain model independent of databases, UI frameworks, or message queues. Implementing this pattern drastically improves testability, maintainability, and the ability to swap out external services without rewriting business rules.

A comprehensive guide for structuring, organizing, and initializing Go projects. It covers architectural decisions (Clean, Hexagonal, DDD), best practices for directory layouts (CLI, Service, Library, Monorepo), mandatory naming conventions, and adhering to 12-Factor App principles. Use this when starting a new Go service, refactoring large codebases, or setting up a complex monorepo.

This skill provides programmatic access to manage Hex workspace resources and configure scheduled project runs via the Hex Admin API. It allows users to automate repetitive tasks, monitor project execution status, and manage users, groups, and data connections using external cron triggers or API calls, ensuring robust workflow automation.

This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for setting up and configuring authentication for the Hex SDK/CLI using OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens. It is essential for developers looking to integrate Hex into a project, allowing programmatic control over triggering project runs, checking status, and managing connections via the Hex API.

A comprehensive guide to setting up a robust local development loop for Hex API orchestration. This includes defining the project structure, creating a typed API client using TypeScript, and implementing mocked unit tests (e.g., using vitest) to ensure fast iteration and reliable testing of data pipelines and external service interactions.

This guide provides techniques to significantly boost performance when integrating with the Hex API. It covers essential optimization strategies such as implementing LRU caching for project lists, running multiple independent jobs in parallel, and adopting adaptive polling intervals to manage API latency and resource usage effectively. Use this when facing slow data retrieval or requiring high-throughput data processing.

This guide provides production-ready patterns for integrating with the Hex platform API using TypeScript and Python. It covers essential best practices like robust retry logic, typed client usage, pipeline orchestration, and Airflow integration, helping developers establish standardized, reliable coding standards for complex Hex workflows.

A comprehensive guide detailing security best practices for the Hex data analytics platform. This covers secure API key management (read vs. run scopes), implementing least privilege access, validating webhooks, and redacting sensitive data from logs. Use this guide when auditing Hex security configuration or integrating secure data pipelines.

This skill guides developers on implementing event-driven logic for Hex CI/CD workflows. Since Hex does not provide native push webhooks, this method demonstrates how to poll run statuses using callbacks (e.g., TypeScript) to reliably detect task completion or failure. It is essential for integrating Hex pipelines with external services like Slack or custom notification systems.

This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for integrating with the Hex API. It demonstrates the core workflow: list available Hex projects, trigger a project run with custom input parameters, and poll the status until the job is successfully completed. Ideal for setting up automated data pipelines, building robust backend services, or deeply integrating Hex functionality into external applications.
