jira-webhooks

jira-webhooks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hookdeck/webhook-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,532 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of adyen-webhooks, MIT.

A guide to receiving Jira Cloud's automatic notifications about issues and comments and checking their authenticity. Jira is a tool for tracking software work and support tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process issue and comment changes and secure a Jira webhook endpoint.
Why use it?
It explains the difference between signed API-created webhooks and unsigned webhooks created in Jira's interface.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

jira-webhooks scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (examples/express/src/index.js, examples/express/test/webhook.test.js, examples/fastapi/main.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Jira Webhooks

When to Use This Skill

  • How do I receive Jira webhooks?
  • How do I verify Jira webhook signatures?
  • How do I handle jira:issue_created or jira:issue_updated events?
  • Why is my Jira webhook signature verification failing?
  • Understanding Jira event types and payloads

Verification (core)

Jira Cloud signs the raw request body with HMAC-SHA256 keyed on the secret you set when registering a dynamic/OAuth 2.0 webhook, and sends the digest in the X-Hub-Signature header using the WebSub method=signature format — i.e. sha256=<hex>. Verify the raw body before parsing JSON and compare timing-safe.

Only dynamic webhooks (registered via the REST API with a secret) are signed. Webhooks created in the Jira UI are not signed — they rely on HTTPS plus a hard-to-guess URL and an optional ?secret= query parameter. See references/verification.md.

Node:

const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifyJiraWebhook(rawBody, signatureHeader, secret) {
  const [method, sig] = (signatureHeader || '').split('=');
  if (method !== 'sha256' || !sig) return false;
  const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret).update(rawBody).digest('hex');
  try {
    return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(sig, 'hex'), Buffer.from(expected, 'hex'));
  } catch {
    return false; // length mismatch = invalid
  }
}

Python:

import hmac, hashlib

def verify_jira_webhook(raw_body: bytes, signature_header: str, secret: str) -> bool:
    method, _, sig = (signature_header or "").partition("=")
    if method != "sha256" or not sig:
        return False
    expected = hmac.new(secret.encode(), raw_body, hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
    return hmac.compare_digest(sig, expected)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
