What this changes
src/skills/github-webhook-events/(catalogskill.md+ 6 per-event sub-pages) that defines what each GitHub webhook event means and what Sam should do in response — grounded in Google's eng-practices (review handling) + async-team best practicesPR body → Linear → Slack threadresolves from either source — closes the gap where PRs without Linear tickets had no traceable threadWhat Sam noticed that led to this
SAM-5 (PR feedback-loop webhooks) was specced as one big Tier 3 ticket. After scoping with the operator on 2026-05-26, the work split cleanly into two layers:
/github/webhookaiohttp route with HMAC validation, contributor check, delivery-ID dedupe, event →WebhookEventTriggertranslationThis is the prose. The runtime piece is next.
Operator-confirmed direction in this PR:
Tier
1 (skills + capability prose). No runtime changes.
Confidence
High. The skill files are grounded in Google's eng-practices (handling-comments + reviewer/standard + reviewer/comments) plus a survey via Exa of async-collaboration best practices for 2026. Coaching rules are conservative ("once, with an offer to help") to avoid Sam becoming nagging. The dual-metadata rule is the load-bearing piece — without it, the cross-system chain breaks on Linear-less PRs (housekeeping fixes, docs-only PRs).
The receiver code (runtime layer for SAM-5) lands as a separate PR —
sam/github-webhook-receiver— when this prose is reviewed.
