## Description

Matrix Hookshot is a Matrix bot and bridge that connects rooms on your homeserver to external project-management and code-hosting services. It ships first-class support for GitHub, GitLab, Jira, OpenProject, Figma, Challenge Hound and RSS/Atom feeds, plus generic inbound and outbound webhooks whose payloads can be reshaped into Matrix messages with small sandboxed JavaScript templates. Rooms are linked to services either dynamically through aliases or statically through room state events, and configuration widgets let users manage connections inside Element instead of typing bot commands. It stores its data in Matrix room state, so no external database is needed, though an optional Redis cache speeds startup and enables features such as resuming feeds across restarts. End-to-bridge encryption lets the bot work inside encrypted rooms when the homeserver supports the relevant MSCs. Admins control what each user may do with fine-grained per-service permissions, and a Prometheus metrics endpoint plus a sample Grafana dashboard are provided. You self-host it as the ghcr.io container image, with the Helm chart on Kubernetes, or by building the Node.js project from source and registering it as an appservice on your homeserver.
