persona-webhooks

persona-webhooks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hookdeck/webhook-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,771 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for receiving Persona notifications about identity checks and account or case changes, then verifying their signatures. Persona is an identity-verification service that sends signed JSON records to your server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to handle completed or approved inquiries, passed verifications, new accounts, and resolved cases.
Why use it?
It explains manual signature checking, including requests containing two signatures during secret changes, so identity events are not trusted blindly.

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

persona-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.

Persona Webhooks

When to Use This Skill

  • How do I receive Persona webhooks?
  • How do I verify the Persona-Signature header?
  • Why is my Persona webhook signature verification failing?
  • How do I handle inquiry.completed, inquiry.approved, or verification.passed events?
  • How do I parse Persona's JSON:API webhook payloads?

Verification (core)

Persona has no official server-side SDK — verify the Persona-Signature header manually. It is a Stripe-style scheme (NOT Standard Webhooks): the header is t=<unix_seconds>,v1=<hex>, and v1 is an HMAC-SHA256 hex digest over `${t}.${rawBody}` keyed with the per-webhook secret (wbhsec_...). Use the raw request body — never JSON.parse first. During secret rotation the header carries two space-separated t=...,v1=... pairs; accept if any v1 matches.

const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifyPersonaSignature(rawBody, header, secret) {
  if (!header) return false;
  // Rotation: header may hold two space-separated "t=...,v1=..." pairs.
  return header.trim().split(/\s+/).some((pair) => {
    const parts = pair.split(',');
    const t = parts.find((p) => p.startsWith('t='))?.slice(2);
    const v1 = parts.find((p) => p.startsWith('v1='))?.slice(3);
    if (!t || !v1) return false;
    const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret)
      .update(`${t}.${rawBody}`).digest('hex');
    const a = Buffer.from(v1, 'hex');
    const b = Buffer.from(expected, 'hex');
    return a.length === b.length && crypto.timingSafeEqual(a, b);
  });
}

Persona documents no timestamp tolerance — signature validity is the check. Add your own replay window only if you need one. See references/verification.md for the Python version, rotation details, and gotchas.

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.
