Install and configure Hex SDK/CLI authentication. An agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace.

  • Works in 3 steps: Generate API Token → Configure Environment → Verify Connection
  • Setting up a new Hex integration
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Prerequisites, Instructions and Token Scopes, plus 5 more sections
  • Calls curl and python3; needs HEX_API_TOKEN

What it does

Hex Install Auth is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Install and configure Hex SDK/CLI authentication. Use when setting up a new Hex integration, configuring API keys, or initializing Hex in your project. Trigger with phrases like "install hex", "setup hex", "hex auth", "configure hex API key".

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up a new Hex integration
  • Configuring API keys
  • Initializing Hex in your project
  • With phrases like install hex

Example prompts

  • “install hex”
  • “setup hex”
  • “hex auth”
  • “/hex-install-auth”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Generate API Token
  2. Configure Environment
  3. Verify Connection

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(npm:*)
    • Bash(curl:*)
    • Grep

    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 Install Auth loads about 841 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 215 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~841

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

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:50
    # .env (NEVER commit)
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:55

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:56
    .env.local

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.

Hex Install & Auth

Overview

Configure Hex API authentication using OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens. The Hex API at app.hex.tech/api/v1/ lets you programmatically trigger project runs, check status, manage users, and configure connections. Tokens are generated per-user in the Hex workspace settings.

Prerequisites

  • Hex account (Team or Enterprise plan)
  • Workspace admin access for API token generation
  • At least one published Hex project

Instructions

Step 1: Generate API Token
  1. Open Hex workspace settings
  2. Navigate to API tokens section
  3. Click New Token
  4. Set description and expiration
  5. Select scopes: "Read projects" and/or "Run projects"
Step 2: Configure Environment
bash
# .env (NEVER commit)
HEX_API_TOKEN=hex_token_abc123...
HEX_WORKSPACE_URL=https://app.hex.tech

# .gitignore
.env
.env.local
Step 3: Verify Connection
typescript
// verify-hex.ts
import 'dotenv/config';

const TOKEN = process.env.HEX_API_TOKEN!;

async function verify() {
  const response = await fetch('https://app.hex.tech/api/v1/projects', {
    headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${TOKEN}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  });
  if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Hex API ${response.status}`);
  const projects = await response.json();
  console.log(`Connected! Found ${projects.length} projects`);
  return projects;
}

verify().catch(console.error);
bash
# curl verification
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $HEX_API_TOKEN" \
  https://app.hex.tech/api/v1/projects | python3 -m json.tool

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
401 UnauthorizedInvalid or expired tokenRegenerate in workspace settings
403 ForbiddenMissing scopeCreate token with "Run projects" scope
404 Not FoundWrong workspace URLVerify HEX_WORKSPACE_URL

Output

Return an authentication setup receipt with environment, secret reference rather than value, token-scope class, approved project/destination result, synthetic connectivity status, and rotation/cleanup owner. Never print an access token, SQL, or output.

Examples

env=sandbox; secret_ref=hex-client-v4; scope=project-run; destination=approved; synthetic_probe=200; rotation_owner=platform-ops proves setup without exposing a credential.
