What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the complexities and interoperability issues surrounding HTTP Signatures, the primary authentication mechanism for server-to-server communication in the Fediverse. It helps developers understand, implement, and debug signature verification failures.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Authentication & Verification: Provides detailed guidance on signing and verifying HTTP requests using RSA keys.
- Interoperability Guidance: Documents common quirks, bugs, and best practices across various Fediverse implementations (Mastodon, GoToSocial, etc.).
- Use Case: Debugging why your Fediverse server cannot federate with another instance by analyzing signature verification failures, clock skew issues, or incorrect header formatting.
Quick Start
Use the kb-fediverse-http-signatures skill to understand how to verify an incoming ActivityPub request's signature.
