Deliver webhooks with signatures, retries, and ordering rules consumers can actually build against. Use when adding webhooks to a product or hardening delivery and verification on either side.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Webhooks design A webhook program is a promise about delivery semantics. State the promise precisely (at-least-once, possibly out of order, within N hours) and build both sides to it. ## Method 1. **Send facts, fetch details.** Payload carries event type, IDs, timestamps, and a version; consumers fetch the full object if needed. Thin payloads survive schema evolution and avoid shipping stale or sensitive data to endpoints you do not control. 2. **Sign with a shared-secret HMAC over timestamp + body.** `signature: t=1712..., v1=hex(hmac_sha256(secret, t + "." + body))`. The timestamp bounds replay (reject > 5 minutes old); constant-time compare; support two active secrets for rotation. 3. **Retry on schedule, disable on despair.** Anything but a 2xx within a short timeout (5-10s) is a failure; retry with exponential backoff over 24-72 hours. After exhaustion, mark the endpoint failing, notify the owner, and auto-disable persistent offenders; expose recent deliveries and a manual redeliver in the dashboard. 4. **Guarantee at-least-once, number the events.** Do not promise ordering; parallel delivery and retries reorder everything. Give each …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/webhooks-design@sha256:4c0c75b51a99b516The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.1dc980e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
