  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Basecamp Doctor is an agent skill from basecamp/basecamp-cli. Diagnose Basecamp CLI, authentication, and agent-plugin health.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Hooks and plugins. It works with Basecamp. The repository describes itself as: Basecamp CLI and Agent Skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins

Example prompts

  • “/basecamp-doctor”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 40e4757. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Basecamp Doctor loads about 699 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 373 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~699

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Basecamp Doctor

Run the structured diagnostic:

bash
basecamp doctor --json

Interpret every check by status:

  • pass: working correctly.
  • warn: usable, but follow-up is recommended.
  • skip: not run because it is unauthenticated or not applicable.
  • fail: broken and needs attention.

Report failures and warnings with their hint fields. Also inspect the top-level breadcrumbs array and preserve its structured cmd next steps, because a breadcrumb can provide a more specific action than a check hint. Use these common remediations when relevant:

  • Basecamp authentication: basecamp auth login. Guard a replacement login with --expect-identity <id> so a browser signed in as someone else cannot become the profile. A bot or CI profile that must never sign in interactively imports a personal access token instead: op read "op://<vault>/<item>/credential" | basecamp auth login --with-token -P <profile> --account <id> --expect-identity <id>

    Check oauth_type before suggesting either. basecamp auth status --json reports it, and agent means the profile is a Basecamp agent: a principal with no person behind it, which authenticates with its OAuth client rather than a sign-in. Both commands above would store a PERSON's credential under that profile and silently replace the agent. Its remediation is its own login, with the client secret piped in: op read "op://<vault>/<item>/credential" | basecamp auth login --with-client-credentials --client-id <id> -P <profile> --account <id> The CLI's own hint on an agent credential already names this command with the client id filled in — prefer it verbatim over reconstructing one, and follow it rather than choosing for yourself whenever oauth_type is absent.

  • Agent plugin installation or version: basecamp setup agents (honors BASECAMP_SETUP_AGENT)

  • Codex plugin specifically: basecamp setup codex

  • Claude Code plugin specifically: basecamp setup claude

  • Grok skill specifically: basecamp setup grok (skill-only; Grok reads the shared ~/.agents/skills/basecamp skill)

Show full SKILL.md (94 more words)Show less

Every remediation above runs without a terminal. Bare basecamp setup is the human first-time flow and is not one of them: it opens browser OAuth and refuses with a usage error in machine-output modes or unless stdin, stdout, and stderr are all terminals. basecamp setup --customize additionally asks the user to choose each default. Suggest either to a human at a terminal if useful, but never run them yourself — use the subcommands above.

Do not read, print, or request credential files. If every check passes, say that Basecamp and its agent integration are ready.
