What it does

Workhuman SDK Patterns is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Design a typed Workhuman integration adapter from customer-authorized API or connector contracts without assuming a public SDK. Use when creating reusable client boundaries. Trigger with "design a Workhuman adapter".

Its SKILL.md is about 990 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; generated clients and production calls require customer-authorized contracts and credentials

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

  • Creating reusable client boundaries
  • With design a Workhuman adapter

Example prompts

  • “design a Workhuman adapter”
  • “/workhuman-sdk-patterns”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; generated clients and production calls require customer-authorized contracts and credentials
  • 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 required operations and map each to an exact authorized contract section and owning system.
  2. Pin the schema or mapping fingerprint, environment, tenant, acquisition date, and compatibility promise.
  3. Generate types when the artifact supports it; otherwise define minimal request and response types without speculative fields.
  4. Separate transport, authentication, serialization, retry, idempotency, policy, and business orchestration.
  5. Preserve vendor status and safe correlation fields in a normalized error union.
  6. Validate response envelopes, tolerate documented optional fields, and reject unsafe type coercion.
  7. Test duplicates, partial application, timeouts, throttling, revoked authorization, schema drift, and retry eligibility.
  8. Expose only the operations required by the approved workflow and document deprecation ownership.

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; generated clients and production calls require customer-authorized contracts and credentials

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Workhuman SDK Patterns loads about 987 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 388 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~987

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.

Workhuman Contract-Driven Adapter Patterns

Overview

Create a narrow, testable boundary around documented tenant capabilities while keeping vendor transport, business policy, and systems of record separate.

Prerequisites

  • A current customer-authorized API schema, managed-connector mapping, or integration specification
  • Defined operations, data classifications, owners, and compatibility window
  • Synthetic fixtures for all supported results and failures

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect contracts and consumers, WebFetch for current first-party context, and Write or Edit for types, adapter code, tests, and redacted receipts.

Current Contract

Workhuman describes an open API but does not publish a universal public SDK or stable route catalogue on the cited public pages. Generate or hand-build only from customer-authorized artifacts and pin the artifact identity.

Authentication

Inject the documented authorization provider at runtime. Keep secret acquisition outside the adapter, prevent cross-tenant reuse, and redact authorization and workforce data from errors.

Instructions

  1. Inventory required operations and map each to an exact authorized contract section and owning system.
  2. Pin the schema or mapping fingerprint, environment, tenant, acquisition date, and compatibility promise.
  3. Generate types when the artifact supports it; otherwise define minimal request and response types without speculative fields.
  4. Separate transport, authentication, serialization, retry, idempotency, policy, and business orchestration.
  5. Preserve vendor status and safe correlation fields in a normalized error union.
  6. Validate response envelopes, tolerate documented optional fields, and reject unsafe type coercion.
  7. Test duplicates, partial application, timeouts, throttling, revoked authorization, schema drift, and retry eligibility.
  8. Expose only the operations required by the approved workflow and document deprecation ownership.

Approval Boundaries

Do not add undocumented operations, generate from untrusted schemas, publish customer artifacts, or execute tenant writes while building the adapter.

Output

Return the pinned contract identity, operation map, typed boundary, auth injection point, error model, fixture coverage, compatibility policy, and unresolved fields.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Contract has no stable versionPin its digest and retrieval date and require explicit review before regeneration.
Response contains an unknown fieldPreserve it in safe telemetry and assess compatibility; do not silently remap meaning.
Write outcome is ambiguousStop automatic retry until idempotency or reconciliation proves safety.

Example

A redacted completion receipt might look like this:

text
artifact=customer-openapi@sha256:...; operations=3; auth=injected; fixtures=14; unknown-fields=tolerated; ambiguous-writes=blocked

Resources

Next Steps

Use the adapter in the local and CI lanes before proposing a canary tenant deployment.
