// Routes to the correct Hookdeck product skill. Covers Event Gateway (inbound: receive webhooks, webhook endpoints, local dev, event queue) and Outpost (outbound: send webhooks to customers). Use when working with any Hookdeck product and unsure which skill to use.
Comprehensive guide to the Hookdeck Event Gateway for receiving, routing, and delivering webhooks and events. Covers setup, connections, authentication, local development, monitoring, and API automation. Use when receiving webhooks, setting up webhook endpoints, testing webhooks locally, configuring webhook relay or event queue, event routing, webhook retry, webhook monitoring, third-party routing, asynchronous APIs, or local webhook development. For provider webhooks (Stripe, Shopify, Chargebee, GitHub, etc.), use together with the matching skill from hookdeck/webhook-skills; do not only parse JSON — use provider SDK verification and event construction (e.g. Stripe constructEvent).
Sets up and configures Hookdeck Outpost for outbound event delivery to customer endpoints. Use when sending webhooks to customers, building webhook delivery infrastructure, managing tenants and destinations with supported types (webhooks, Hookdeck Event Gateway, AWS SQS/Kinesis/S3, Azure Service Bus, GCP Pub/Sub, RabbitMQ, Kafka), or aligning topics and publishes. EventBridge support is tracked in GitHub issues.

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.

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).
