What it does

Lindy Hello World is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Create your first Lindy AI agent with a real trigger and action. Use when starting with Lindy, testing your setup, or learning basic agent workflow patterns. Trigger with phrases like "lindy hello world", "lindy example", "lindy quick start", "simple lindy agent", "first lindy".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/implementation-guide.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks. It works with Slack. 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

  • Starting with Lindy
  • Testing your setup
  • Learning basic agent workflow patterns
  • With phrases like lindy hello world

Example prompts

  • “lindy hello world”
  • “lindy example”
  • “lindy quick start”
  • “/lindy-hello-world”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create Agent via Dashboard
  2. Configure the Webhook Trigger
  3. Add the Slack Action
  4. Set the Agent Prompt
  5. Test It
  6. Verify in Dashboard

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(curl:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • public.lindy.ai

    Also links to:

    • lindy.ai
    • docs.lindy.ai

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    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

Lindy Hello World loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 537 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Lindy Hello World

Overview

Build a minimal Lindy AI agent: Webhook Received trigger -> LLM processing -> Slack notification. Demonstrates the three core building blocks every Lindy agent uses: Trigger, Agent Step (prompt + model + skills), and Action.

Prerequisites

  • Lindy account at
  • Slack workspace connected (or Gmail for email variant)
  • Completed lindy-install-auth setup

Instructions

Step 1: Create Agent via Dashboard
  1. Click "New Agent" at

  2. In the prompt field ("How can I help you?"), type:

    When I send a webhook, summarize the message and post it to Slack
  3. Agent Builder auto-generates the workflow with trigger + action nodes

Step 2: Configure the Webhook Trigger
  1. Click the trigger node at the top of the workflow canvas

  2. Select Webhook Received

  3. Copy the generated URL:

    https://public.lindy.ai/api/v1/webhooks/<unique-id>
  4. Click Generate Secret — copy immediately (shown once)

Step 3: Add the Slack Action
  1. Click "+" to add a step
  2. Search for Slack Send Channel Message
  3. Authorize your Slack workspace when prompted
  4. Configure fields:
    • Channel: #general (or test channel)

    • Message field mode: AI Prompt

    • Instruction:

      Summarize the webhook payload in one sentence.
      Payload: {{webhook_received.request.body}}
Step 4: Set the Agent Prompt

Open Settings > Prompt:

You are a webhook summarizer. When you receive a webhook payload,
extract the key information and create a concise one-sentence summary.
Be factual and specific. Do not add opinions or speculation.
Step 5: Test It
bash
curl -X POST "https://public.lindy.ai/api/v1/webhooks/YOUR_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "event": "order.created",
    "customer": "Jane Doe",
    "amount": 149.99,
    "items": ["Widget Pro", "Adapter Cable"]
  }'

Expected Slack message:

Jane Doe placed a $149.99 order for Widget Pro and Adapter Cable.

Step 6: Verify in Dashboard

Navigate to the Tasks tab in your agent view. Confirm status shows Completed. Click into the task to see each step's input/output for debugging.

Output

The finished agent accepts the test webhook, creates one completed Lindy task, and posts one concise Slack summary without exposing the webhook secret. Keep the agent URL, task ID, and sanitized test payload as the setup receipt so the workflow can be retested after changes.

Examples

Send an order.created event to a test-only webhook and confirm that the configured Slack channel receives “Jane Doe placed a $149.99 order for Widget Pro and Adapter Cable.” If the request returns 401, replace the placeholder secret with the webhook secret generated for that same agent rather than a different workspace credential.

  • Body: AI Prompt — "Summarize this event: {{webhook_received.request.body}}"

Cost

~1-3 credits per invocation on basic models. Free tier (400 credits/month) supports ~130-400 test runs per month.
