volume-webhooks

volume-webhooks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hookdeck/webhook-skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,979 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for receiving and verifying payment notifications from Volume, a UK pay-by-bank service. It explains the signed HTTP messages sent when payments change state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or debugging a Volume webhook handler, checking RSA signatures, fetching the public key, or processing payment statuses.
Why use it?
It prevents using the wrong signature method and helps distinguish completed, settled, and failed payments.

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

volume-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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Volume Webhooks

Volume is a UK open banking (pay-by-bank) payments provider (API host volumepay.io). When a payment reaches a final status, Volume sends an HTTP PUT webhook to the URL in your application configuration. Each webhook is signed with Volume's RSA private key. You verify it with Volume's public key. There is no shared secret, so an HMAC check is always wrong here.

When to Use This Skill

  • How do I receive Volume payment webhooks?
  • How do I verify the Volume Authorization: SHA256withRSA ... header?
  • Where do I get Volume's webhook public key (sandbox vs live)?
  • How do I handle COMPLETED, SETTLED and FAILED payment webhooks?
  • Why is my Volume webhook signature verification failing?

Verification (core)

Header Authorization: SHA256withRSA <signature>
Algorithm RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 + SHA-256 (Java SHA256withRSA), not PSS
Signature encoding Standard base64 (not base64url, not hex)
Signed content The raw request body bytes. No timestamp, no nonce
Public key https://api.sandbox.volumepay.io/.well-known/signature/pem (sandbox)https://api.volumepay.io/.well-known/signature/pem (live)

The key URL returns a bare base64 SPKI body without the -----BEGIN/END PUBLIC KEY----- lines. Decode it as DER, or wrap it in PEM armour.

const crypto = require('crypto');

// pemBody: text from the .well-known/signature/pem URL (cache it, ~1 hour)
function verifyVolume(rawBody, authorization, pemBody) {
  const key = crypto.createPublicKey({
    key: Buffer.from(pemBody.trim(), 'base64'), format: 'der', type: 'spki',
  });
  const [scheme, signature] = (authorization || '').trim().split(/\s+/);
  if (scheme !== 'SHA256withRSA' || !/^[A-Za-z0-9+/]+={0,2}$/.test(signature || '')) {
    return false;
  }
  // RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 is Node's default padding for RSA keys
  return crypto.verify('sha256', rawBody, key, Buffer.from(signature, 'base64'));
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

volume-webhooks is a skill published in the GitHub repository hookdeck/webhook-skills (92 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 1,979 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-09.
