What it does

Bamboohr Webhooks Events is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Create and operate BambooHR event- or field-based webhooks with one-time key custody, HMAC-SHA256 verification, idempotency, and replay controls. Use when building employee-change delivery or diagnosing webhook failures. Trigger with "BambooHR webhook", "BambooHR events", or "BambooHR webhook signature".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building employee-change delivery
  • Diagnosing webhook failures
  • With BambooHR webhook
  • BambooHR events

Example prompts

  • “BambooHR webhook”
  • “BambooHR events”
  • “BambooHR webhook signature”
  • “/bamboohr-webhooks-events”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Choose event-based or field-based delivery and list only the events,
  2. Validate an HTTPS destination and use a non-production receiver for creation
  3. Capture id and privateKey from the 201 response atomically; store the key
  4. Implement HMAC-SHA256 over the exact raw request bytes according to BambooHR's
  5. Compare signatures in constant time, reject before processing, then enforce
  6. Acknowledge only after durable enqueue. Return intentional 4xx for terminal
  7. Monitor webhook logs, last-fired time, verification failures, duplicates,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Bamboohr Webhooks Events loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 524 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

BambooHR Webhook Operations

Overview

Operate permissioned BambooHR webhooks as a security boundary. The creation response contains a privateKey used for HMAC-SHA256 and returns it only once; losing it requires controlled replacement, not a retrieval call.

Prerequisites

  • The target repository or integration path and the requested operator outcome.
  • The tenant, identity, and data scope only when approved live work is in scope.
  • The current evidence register plus customer-specific permissions and agreements.

Current Contract

  • Create/list/get/update/delete and log endpoints live under /api/v1/webhooks.
  • The destination URL must use HTTPS and format is required (json or form-encoded in the reviewed OpenAPI).
  • monitorFields is required when events include employee.updated or employee_with_fields.updated; omitted events default to field-based employee events that also require monitored fields.
  • Receiver 4xx responses are not retried. Receiver 5xx responses may be retried up to five times at documented 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 minute intervals.

Authentication

Webhook management requires OAuth scope webhooks or a permitted API-key user. Store the one-time privateKey immediately in a secret manager scoped to tenant and webhook ID. Keep management credentials separate from receiver verification.

Instructions

  1. Choose event-based or field-based delivery and list only the events, monitorFields, and postFields needed by the consumer.
  2. Validate an HTTPS destination and use a non-production receiver for creation tests. Prepare secret storage before the create call.
  3. Capture id and privateKey from the 201 response atomically; store the key once and ensure it never enters logs, tickets, fixtures, or source control.
  4. Implement HMAC-SHA256 over the exact raw request bytes according to BambooHR's current webhook documentation. Do not parse or reserialize before checking. Confirm the documented signature carrier/header from current docs or a controlled sample; this pack does not invent one.
  5. Compare signatures in constant time, reject before processing, then enforce tenant routing, payload schema, event allowlist, timestamp/replay window when supplied, and an idempotency key derived from stable delivery facts.
  6. Acknowledge only after durable enqueue. Return intentional 4xx for terminal payload rejection and 5xx only when a later retry can succeed.
  7. Monitor webhook logs, last-fired time, verification failures, duplicates, queue age, and dead letters. Rotate by creating and validating a replacement before removing the old webhook.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect receiver code and secret handling. Use Write/Edit only for approved handler, tests, and runbook changes. This skill does not authorize webhook creation, update, deletion, or receipt of production PII.

Approval Boundaries

Require approval for event/field scope, destination, management identity, secret write, create/update/delete calls, production traffic, and replay of any payload.

Output

Return webhook type, event/field scope, destination class, verification contract, secret custody receipt without value, idempotency strategy, receiver status policy, test results, monitoring, and rotation procedure.

Error Handling

  • Creation response not stored atomically: delete or disable the unverified webhook and recreate under approval.
  • Signature contract uncertain: fail closed and inspect current official docs.
  • Repeated 5xx: stop accepting new side effects, preserve queue evidence, and repair before BambooHR exhausts retries.

Examples

  • "Notify us when department changes" discovers the permitted field ID first.
  • "Use a conventional signature header" is rejected until current official evidence confirms the exact carrier and signing input.

Resources

Read official evidence before webhook changes.
