Skill UI

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 skill guides the setup of CI/CD pipelines for Hex data analytics projects using GitHub Actions. It enables running automated unit tests on pull requests and triggering live project runs on the main branch merge. Use this when establishing automated testing workflows, validating data transformation logic, or integrating Hex outputs into a continuous delivery process.

This guide provides comprehensive solutions for diagnosing and resolving common errors and exceptions encountered while using the Hex data platform. It covers critical areas such as API authentication failures (401, 403), resource not found issues (404), rate limiting, and various run status errors (ERRORED, KILLED). This is essential for debugging failed data requests, optimizing integration workflows, and ensuring stable data analytics pipelines.

This tool collects a comprehensive diagnostic archive for the Hex platform. It gathers crucial evidence, including API connectivity status, project inventory, recent run histories, data connection health, and current rate limit information. Use this bundle when encountering persistent bugs, preparing detailed support tickets, or troubleshooting complex data flow issues.

This integration facilitates the deployment of Hex orchestration services to major cloud platforms like Vercel, Google Cloud Run, and Fly.io. It is essential for setting up production environments, managing platform-specific secrets (like API tokens), and automating deployment pipelines for Hex-powered applications.

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.

Provides a comprehensive checklist for deploying Hex data analytics integrations into production. It covers critical operational best practices, including API key management, rate limit handling, error resilience (circuit breakers, exponential backoff), and robust monitoring strategies. This guide ensures that data pipelines are deployed reliably, minimizing downtime and guaranteeing consistent, high-quality data reporting for go-live scenarios.

This guide provides robust solutions for handling Hex API rate limits, implementing backoff, and ensuring idempotent API calls. It includes a rate limiter class and a retry mechanism with exponential backoff. Use this when building reliable data pipelines, running large-scale batch analytics, or integrating Hex into CI/CD environments where API call throttling is expected.

This guide details the recommended reference architecture and project structure for integrating with the Hex platform. It covers best practices for designing robust data pipelines, including components like orchestration layers (Airflow, Dagster), API clients, and standardized project layouts. Use this when starting new Hex integrations or reviewing complex data workflows.

Analyzes, plans, and executes upgrades for the Hex SDK, providing detailed detection of breaking changes, deprecations, and API version updates. Use this skill when migrating data pipelines or backend code to ensure compatibility with the latest Hex API standards.
