+      `t=<timestamp>,s=<base64-signature>`.
+
+      CRITICAL: the timestamp is in MILLISECONDS, not seconds. Knock explicitly
+      deviates from Stripe's seconds-based scheme — anyone porting a Stripe
+      verifier will silently fail signature checks if they forget this. Surface
+      this prominently in the verification reference.
+
+      Signed content format: `{timestamp_ms}.{stringified_body}` (period
+      separator). HMAC-SHA256 over that string using the per-endpoint signing
+      secret (one secret per webhook in the dashboard — NOT the account API
+      key). Always pass the raw request body; do not JSON.parse and re-serialize
+      before verifying.
+
+      Replay protection: docs recommend rejecting payloads whose timestamp is
+      more than 5 minutes old. Apply this on top of the signature check.
+
+      No SDK helper. Confirmed: @knocklabs/node (npm, v1.32.0+) and knockapi
+      (PyPI, v1.25.0+) do not expose webhooks.unwrap()/constructEvent()/verify()
+      — the source contains no inbound webhook verification path. The official
+      JavaScript example uses crypto.createHmac directly. Manual HMAC-SHA256
+      verification is the canonical path; do not pull in a third-party library.
+
+      Event taxonomy (23 events across 6 categories):

+# Knock Webhooks
+
+## When to Use This Skill
+
+- Setting up Knock outbound webhook handlers
+- Debugging `x-knock-signature` verification failures
+- Handling Knock notification message lifecycle events (sent, delivered, bounced, read, link_clicked)
+- Reacting to Knock resource changes (workflow.committed, translation.committed, etc.)
+- Porting a Stripe-style verifier to Knock and discovering it silently fails (Knock uses **milliseconds**, Stripe uses seconds)
+
+## Verification (core)
+
+Knock signs each webhook with HMAC-SHA256 (base64) and sends a single header:
+
+```
+x-knock-signature: t=<timestamp_ms>,s=<base64_signature>
+```
+
+The signed string is `${timestamp_ms}.${raw_body}` (period separator). The timestamp is in **milliseconds**, not seconds — this is an explicit deviation from Stripe. There is no SDK helper (`@knocklabs/node` and `knockapi` do not expose an inbound verification method); verify with the standard library.
+
+```javascript
+const crypto = require('crypto');
+
+function verifyKnockSignature(rawBody, header, secret, toleranceMs = 5 * 60 * 1000) {
+  if (!header) return false;
+  const [tPart, sPart] = header.split(',');
+  const timestampMs = tPart?.startsWith('t=') ? tPart.slice(2) : null;
+  const signature = sPart?.startsWith('s=') ? sPart.slice(2) : null;
+  if (!timestampMs || !signature) return false;
+
+  if (Math.abs(Date.now() - parseInt(timestampMs, 10)) > toleranceMs) return false;
+
+  const expected = crypto
+    .createHmac('sha256', secret)
+    .update(`${timestampMs}.${rawBody}`)
+    .digest('base64');
+
+  const a = Buffer.from(signature, 'utf8');
+  const b = Buffer.from(expected, 'utf8');
+  return a.length === b.length && crypto.timingSafeEqual(a, b);
+}
+```

+
+## Common Event Types
+
+| Event | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `message.sent` | Message was sent through a channel |
+| `message.delivered` | Channel confirmed delivery |
+| `message.delivery_attempted` | Delivery attempt was made (success or failure) |
+| `message.undelivered` | Channel failed to deliver after retries |
+| `message.bounced` | Recipient address bounced |
+| `message.seen` | Recipient saw the message in feed/inbox |
+| `message.read` | Recipient marked the message as read |
+| `message.archived` | Recipient archived the message |
+| `message.interacted` | Recipient interacted with the message |
+| `message.link_clicked` | Recipient clicked a tracked link |
+| `workflow.committed` | Workflow committed to an environment |
+| `translation.committed` | Translation committed to an environment |
+
+> **For full event reference (23 events across message, workflow, email_layout, translation, source_event_action, partial)**, see [Knock Outbound Webhooks Event Types](https://docs.knock.app/developer-tools/outbound-webhooks/event-types).
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+KNOCK_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_per_endpoint_signing_secret  # From Developers → Webhooks → endpoint detail
+```
+
+The signing secret is **per webhook endpoint** (visible on the endpoint detail page in the Knock dashboard) — it is not your Knock account API key.
+
+## Local Development
+
+```bash
+# Start tunnel (no account needed)
+npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 knock --path /webhooks/knock
+```
+
+Use the printed Hookdeck URL as the destination URL when creating the webhook endpoint in the Knock dashboard.

+## Recommended: webhook-handler-patterns
+
+We recommend installing the [webhook-handler-patterns](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/tree/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns) skill alongside this one for handler sequence, idempotency, error handling, and retry logic. Knock retries up to 8 times on any non-2xx response and delivery is at-least-once — idempotency keyed on the event `id` field is strongly recommended. Key references (open on GitHub):
+
+- [Handler sequence](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/handler-sequence.md) — Verify first, parse second, handle idempotently third
+- [Idempotency](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/idempotency.md) — Prevent duplicate processing
+- [Error handling](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/error-handling.md) — Return codes, logging, dead letter queues
+- [Retry logic](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/retry-logic.md) — Provider retry schedules, backoff patterns

+# Knock Webhooks - Express Example
+
+Minimal example of receiving Knock outbound webhooks with `x-knock-signature` verification.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js 18+
+- A Knock webhook endpoint with its per-endpoint signing secret (Developers → Webhooks → endpoint detail)
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+2. Copy environment variables:
+   ```bash
+   cp .env.example .env
+   ```
+
+3. Add your Knock webhook signing secret to `.env`.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+npm start
+```
+
+Server runs on http://localhost:3000.
+
+## Test
+
+### Run unit tests
+
+```bash
+npm test
+```
+
+### Forward live events with the Hookdeck CLI
+
+```bash
+# No account required — first run prints a public URL
+npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 knock --path /webhooks/knock
+```
+
+Use the printed URL as the destination when creating your Knock webhook endpoint, then trigger a workflow (or click **Send test event** in the Knock dashboard).
+
+## Endpoint
+
+- `POST /webhooks/knock` — verifies `x-knock-signature` and dispatches on `event.type`.
+- `GET /health` — liveness probe.
