  • Outbound deliveries

What it does

Rails Webhooks is an agent skill from marckohlbrugge/37signals-skills. Build and review Rails webhook systems with safe delivery, retries, observability, and tenant-aware security controls. Use when adding webhook endpoints, outbound deliveries, retry logic, or webhook admin tooling.

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.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks and Backend development. The repository describes itself as: Unofficial agent skills + reference guide that teach AI coding assistants to write Rails the 37signals way — extracted from Fizzy, Campfire, and DHH's code reviews.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding webhook endpoints
  • Outbound deliveries
  • Webhook admin tooling

Example prompts

  • “/rails-webhooks”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c58e7d5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    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.

Context cost

Rails Webhooks loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 506 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 506 words (~1,087 tokens).

“Use for outbound/inbound webhook architecture and reliability. Modeled on Fizzy's event-driven webhook pipeline (with Campfire's simpler bot webhooks as contrast).”
