Helps designers explore trending Coolors palettes, capture hex codes, and map selections into Tailwind configs or curated fallbacks when the browser is unavailable, ensuring contrast and role guidance for frontend themes.

Guides building and refactoring services via the Hexagonal (Ports & Adapters) architecture so business logic stays independent of frameworks, transports, and persistence while orchestrating use cases across TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, or Go stacks.

This skill provides the core mechanism for integrating Hex into external data pipelines. It enables triggering, monitoring, and managing Hex projects (e.g., via Airflow or Dagster) programmatically. Users can implement parameterized runs, execute multi-step ETL workflows sequentially, and handle status polling and error management, making it ideal for production data orchestration.

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.

A comprehensive guide and toolkit for optimizing Hex platform costs. This resource details strategies for reducing compute expenditure by auditing seat licenses, consolidating data connections, and optimizing notebook run schedules. It includes code examples for implementing result caching and usage monitoring to prevent unexpected billing spikes.

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.
