Hex Common Errors

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Encountering Hex errors
• Debugging failed requests
• Troubleshooting integration issues
• With phrases like hex error

Example prompts

• “hex error”
• “fix hex”
• “hex not working”
• “/hex-common-errors”

Requirements

• Python 3
• A credential in HEX_API_TOKEN
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Bash(curl:*)

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Classify authentication, authorization, project lookup, validation, quota, timeout, and terminal-run errors before changing configuration.
2. 2Reproduce once with the safe probe and capture only status, latency, quota, and opaque run ID.
3. 3Check scope, parameter schema, project state, quota, and downstream connection health in that order.
4. 4Make one reversible change at a time and escalate a redacted bundle when the error persists.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Grep
  • Bash(curl:*)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl
  • python3

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • learn.hex.tech

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • HEX_API_TOKEN

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Hex Common Errors loads about 837 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 333 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~63

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~837

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
