What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides developers through building robust GitHub Apps, covering authentication, webhook handling, and deployment patterns to automate integrations and extend GitHub capabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • App registration & authentication: Understand app vs. installation authentication flows (JWTs, installation tokens, OAuth) and secure hosting options.
  • Webhook & API integrations: Implement event handlers, use Octokit, and process complex GitHub events safely.
  • Deployment patterns: Learn deployment options (Cloudflare Workers, serverless, self-hosted) and best practices for edge vs. centralized hosting.
  • Probot integration: Use Probot for rapid prototyping and simpler bots, with guidance on when to use Probot vs raw Octokit.

Quick Start
