Testing what is locked and what isn’t
What it does
Ascend (insurance payments / premium financing) sends webhooks so your app is notified when an event happens — for example when an invoice is paid. Ascend POSTs a JSON payload over HTTPS and signs it with an HMAC-SHA256 signature you must verify before trusting the event.
Use when setting up Ascend webhook handlers, debugging Ascend signature verification (X-Ascend-Signature, HMAC-SHA256), or handling…
You don’t need to name it. Ask for the job in your own words — your AI loads the skill when the request matches.
What it can touch
Includes 7 scripts
Your AI can run these when the skill is used — on your computer in a coding tool (which asks first unless you have told it not to), or in the AI’s own sandbox in Claude and ChatGPT.
How we know
Found in the skill’s folder: examples/express/src/index.js, examples/express/test/webhook.test.js, examples/fastapi/main.py, examples/fastapi/test_webhook.py….
Uses terminal commands
It shows your AI commands to run. In a coding agent that means your terminal; in a chat app it usually can’t.
How we know
The SKILL.md contains shell code blocks.
No known risk pattern found
Launch7’s automated check read all 20 text files in this skill and matched none of its risk patterns. This is not a guarantee: a check like this can miss new or disguised tricks, and the author can change the files after the check.
How we know
Read 2026-10-05, commit c63f9be by pipeline/trust/analyze.py — 40+ patterns for hidden text, prompt injection, downloads that run, credential access and more. It reads; it never runs the skill.
Recently maintained
Its repository has had changes recently.
How we know
Last push to hookdeck/webhook-skills: 2026-10-02 (3 days before the scan).
Read automatically from the skill’s own files on GitHub on 5 Oct 2026. Launch7 does not run or manually review skills: this lists what the check saw, and nothing here means “safe”. How we check
Add it to your AI
Partly. Upload it in Claude’s settings — the instructions work; the scripts need the full folder.
Built in your browser from the SKILL.md on GitHub — nothing passes through Launch7.
In Claude, open Customize → Skills, press +, then Create skill → Upload a skill, and choose the .zip.
Make sure code execution is switched on (Settings → Capabilities). Skills need it.
Start a new chat and ask for the job in your own words — Claude picks the skill up when it fits.
This skill ships 7 scripts beside its instructions. The download here is the SKILL.md alone — enough for the instructions, not for the parts that run code. Use the command route, or take the full folder from the repository.
