What it does

Bamboohr Common Errors is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Triage BambooHR failures by typed status, request ID, operation, permissions, retryability, and data risk. Use when an SDK or HTTP call returns an error or an apparently successful response is incomplete. Trigger with "BambooHR 401", "BambooHR 403", "BambooHR 429", or "debug BambooHR error".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • HTTP call returns an error
  • An apparently successful response is incomplete
  • With BambooHR 401
  • Debug BambooHR error

Example prompts

  • “BambooHR 401”
  • “BambooHR 403”
  • “BambooHR 429”
  • “/bamboohr-common-errors”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Capture timestamp, tenant alias, operation, method/path template, status or
  2. Reproduce against a fixture first. If a live retry is needed, obtain approval
  3. Classify
  4. Compare current OpenAPI and SDK version before changing code. Do not paper
  5. Add a regression test that proves classification, redaction, and behavior.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Bamboohr Common Errors loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 478 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

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.

BambooHR Error Triage

Overview

Diagnose from evidence, not guessed endpoint behavior. Preserve the request ID and operation while excluding credentials and HR payloads. A 200 with missing fields may still be a permission/schema issue on legacy report paths.

Prerequisites

  • The target repository or integration path and the requested operator outcome.
  • The tenant, identity, and data scope only when approved live work is in scope.
  • The current evidence register plus customer-specific permissions and agreements.

Current Contract

The official Python SDK defines typed exceptions for bad request, authentication, permission, not found, timeout, conflict, payload size, media type, validation, rate limit, and server/network failures. Its request ID may come from any of three documented response headers. Automatic retry is limited to 408, 429, 504, and 598—not every 5xx.

Authentication

Record only auth mode and credential alias/age. For OAuth 401, allow one controlled refresh when configured; persist rotated tokens. For API-key 401, verify owner, tenant, and revocation without printing the key. A 403 usually requires permission analysis, not a retry.

Instructions

  1. Capture timestamp, tenant alias, operation, method/path template, status or typed exception, request ID, attempt count, latency, and a redacted summary.
  2. Reproduce against a fixture first. If a live retry is needed, obtain approval and ensure the operation is read-only or idempotent.
  3. Classify:
    • 400/422: validate body, field IDs, filters, pagination, and media type.
    • 401: validate credential/refresh lifecycle and tenant.
    • 403: compare required endpoint/field permissions with the owning identity.
    • 404: distinguish resource, tenant, format, and deprecated-path failures.
    • 409/412: refresh current HR state or policy; do not overwrite.
    • 413: shrink page, field set, or upload.
    • 429: honor Retry-After when supplied and consume the retry budget.
    • 500/502/503: record request ID and service condition; retry only when the operation and current client policy explicitly allow it.
    • 504/598: bounded backoff for idempotent work, then queue/defer.
  4. Compare current OpenAPI and SDK version before changing code. Do not paper over a deprecated endpoint with an unlimited retry.
  5. Add a regression test that proves classification, redaction, and behavior.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect the failing code, schema, and bounded logs. Use Write/Edit only for an approved fix and regression test. This skill does not authorize live retries or permission changes.

Approval Boundaries

Require approval before a production reproduction, mutation retry, credential rotation, permission change, or sharing any evidence outside its current system.

Output

Return classification, request ID, likely contract layer, evidence, retry/no- retry decision, safe reproduction, proposed fix, regression result, owner, and remaining approval.

Error Handling

  • No status/request ID: preserve transport exception and narrow correlation window.
  • Error text contains PII: redact it and retain only a local protected reference.
  • Ambiguous mutation outcome: read current state before any retry.

Examples

  • 403 on one field prompts field-permission comparison, not admin elevation.
  • 503 is reported as service unavailable; it is not mislabeled as a published quota.
