A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Stripe ships official SDK helpers that verify the Stripe-Signature header (HMAC-SHA256 over timestamp.body) and parse the event in one call. Pass the raw request body — don't JSON.parse first.
Node:
const stripe = require('stripe')(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
const event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(
rawBody, // Buffer or string of the raw HTTP body
req.headers['stripe-signature'],
process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET // whsec_… from the webhook endpoint settings
);
// Throws Stripe.errors.SignatureVerificationError on tampering or stale timestampPython:
import stripe
event = stripe.Webhook.construct_event(
raw_body, # bytes of the raw HTTP body
request.headers["stripe-signature"],
os.environ["STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET"],
)
# Raises stripe.error.SignatureVerificationError on tampering or stale timestampFor complete handlers with route wiring, event dispatch, and tests, see: - examples/express/ - examples/nextjs/ - examples/fastapi/
