Openhook Cli

What This Skill Does

The Openhook CLI skill acts as a powerful bridge between your autonomous agents and the outside world. It provides a robust command-line interface to manage real-time event streaming from major platforms like GitHub, Stripe, Linear, and Vercel. Beyond simple event ingestion, it facilitates sophisticated agent-to-agent communication via a dedicated channel architecture, allowing multiple AI entities to collaborate on complex workflows. Whether you need to trigger an agent based on a pull request event or enable cross-agent coordination for deployment tasks, this skill provides the necessary messaging infrastructure.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your OpenClaw environment: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/berkantay/openhook-cli

Ensure you have the Openhook CLI tool installed on your host system using: brew tap openhook-dev/openhook && brew install openhook

After installation, you must authenticate by signing up at https://openhook.dev/signup, generating an API key, and running openhook auth login --key <your-key>.

Use Cases

• Automated CI/CD Workflows: Connect GitHub repository events directly to a deployment agent to automate staging environment provisioning.
• Payment Monitoring: Use Stripe webhook events to trigger an agent that updates internal billing records or sends customer confirmation emails.
• Multi-Agent Orchestration: Create a coordination channel for a fleet of specialized agents (e.g., a 'researcher' agent and a 'writer' agent) to pass findings back and forth to complete long-running reports.
• Operational Alerts: Pipe live platform activity into your terminal or log files for real-time monitoring of SaaS integrations.

Example Prompts

1. "Openhook, start listening for new GitHub issues on the OpenClaw repo and forward them to the project manager agent."
2. "Create a new channel named 'task-dispatch' with a description regarding multi-agent coordination for the weekend sprint."
3. "Broadcast a message to all agents in the 'deploy-team' channel: 'The v2.0 release candidate is now ready for QA testing.'"

Tips & Limitations

• Daemon Management: Always check openhook daemon status to ensure your event listener hasn't crashed before initiating critical workflows.
• Security: Treat your API keys with extreme caution. Do not share them in public repositories or logs. Use environment variables where possible.
• Performance: While the listen command is excellent for debugging, rely on the daemon process for production-grade, long-running event monitoring to avoid missing events during terminal sessions.
