What it does

Workhuman Reference Architecture is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Design a governed Workhuman architecture across HCM, recognition, rewards, workplace integrations, customer adapters, analytics, and evidence. Use when designing or reviewing the system. Trigger with "design a Workhuman architecture".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; architecture decisions affecting identity, workforce, awards, financial flows, integrations, and data governance require…

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

  • Reviewing the system
  • With design a Workhuman architecture

Example prompts

  • “design a Workhuman architecture”
  • “/workhuman-reference-architecture”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; architecture decisions affecting identity, workforce, awards, financial flows, integrations, and data governance require accountable-owner approval
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inventory actors, products, HCM, identity, payroll, collaboration surfaces, analytics, support, and customer-owned services.
  2. Assign authority for worker identity, organization, eligibility, program policy, recognition, award, spend, redemption, payroll, and…
  3. Draw trust zones, data classes, directions, protocols, principals, secret stores, egress, retention, residency, and audit boundaries.
  4. Put customer API access behind one contract-driven adapter with validation, idempotency, backpressure, redaction, and safe correlation.
  5. Define managed-connector boundaries separately; do not duplicate vendor-owned behavior in customer code without a justified decision.
  6. Specify event, polling, report, or reconciliation modes, checkpoints, duplicates, ordering, partial failure, and recovery.
  7. Add approval gates for worker, program, recognition, award, financial, identity, and connector mutations.
  8. Test loss of HCM, Workhuman, identity, connector, queue, analytics, and secret-provider dependencies and record degraded modes.

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
    • WebFetch
    • 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • workhuman.com

    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; architecture decisions affecting identity, workforce, awards, financial flows, integrations, and data governance require accountable-owner approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Workhuman Reference Architecture loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 417 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Governed Workhuman Reference Architecture

Overview

Define explicit authority, trust, data, financial, and recovery boundaries so Workhuman complements rather than silently replaces HCM and customer systems.

Prerequisites

  • Tenant products, program goals, systems inventory, data classes, regions, and owners
  • Current Workhuman and customer implementation contracts
  • Service levels, retention, financial-control, incident, continuity, and audit requirements

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect system topology and contracts, WebFetch for current first-party context, and Write or Edit for diagrams, decision records, mappings, and redacted evidence.

Current Contract

Workhuman publicly positions Workday as authority for foundational and organizational worker data in its certified integration, with Workhuman managing recognition and rewards. It also provides workplace integrations and an open API. Exact customer boundaries, routes, fields, schedules, and capabilities remain contract-specific.

Authentication

Model human SSO, administrators, managed integrations, customer adapters, HCM principals, and downstream consumers as distinct trust zones with least privilege and explicit tenant binding.

Instructions

  1. Inventory actors, products, HCM, identity, payroll, collaboration surfaces, analytics, support, and customer-owned services.
  2. Assign authority for worker identity, organization, eligibility, program policy, recognition, award, spend, redemption, payroll, and analytical derivatives.
  3. Draw trust zones, data classes, directions, protocols, principals, secret stores, egress, retention, residency, and audit boundaries.
  4. Put customer API access behind one contract-driven adapter with validation, idempotency, backpressure, redaction, and safe correlation.
  5. Define managed-connector boundaries separately; do not duplicate vendor-owned behavior in customer code without a justified decision.
  6. Specify event, polling, report, or reconciliation modes, checkpoints, duplicates, ordering, partial failure, and recovery.
  7. Add approval gates for worker, program, recognition, award, financial, identity, and connector mutations.
  8. Test loss of HCM, Workhuman, identity, connector, queue, analytics, and secret-provider dependencies and record degraded modes.

Approval Boundaries

Do not designate a new system of record, duplicate sensitive data, add trust paths, or alter financial and workforce flows without architecture, security, privacy, HCM, payroll, and program approval.

Output

Return the authority matrix, context and trust diagrams, data inventory, adapter and connector boundaries, failure model, reconciliation design, decisions, risks, and review triggers.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Two systems claim the same field authorityResolve ownership before integration design continues.
Contract cannot support a required flowRecord a gap and select a supported connector, report, or manual control.
Recovery depends on unverified writesRedesign around checkpoints and authoritative reconciliation.

Example

A redacted completion receipt might look like this:

text
worker-authority=workday; recognition-authority=workhuman; payroll=workday; workplace=managed-teams; adapter=contract-pinned; reconciliation=scheduled

Resources

Next Steps

Review the architecture when products, contracts, regions, systems of record, identity, or financial responsibilities change.
