Overview

Webhooks enable external services to send real-time notifications to your application. This skill should be invoked when implementing handlers for incoming webhook events from services like Stripe, GitHub, or custom integrations.

• Idempotency: Handle duplicate deliveries gracefully
• Async Processing: Process webhooks asynchronously
• Response: Return appropriate HTTP status quickly

Preparation Checklist
