What it does

Bamboohr Hello World is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Prove a BambooHR tenant connection with one minimal, low-sensitivity request and a redacted receipt. Use when starting an integration or isolating host, credential, and permission failures. Trigger with "BambooHR hello world", "test BambooHR connection", or "first BambooHR request".

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

  • Starting an integration
  • Permission failures
  • With BambooHR hello world
  • Test BambooHR connection

Example prompts

  • “BambooHR hello world”
  • “test BambooHR connection”
  • “first BambooHR request”
  • “/bamboohr-hello-world”

Requirements

  • A credential in BAMBOOHR_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, Bash(curl:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the exact tenant subdomain and auth mode. Reject slashes, schemes,
  2. Inspect the project for an existing BambooHR client and reuse its timeout,
  3. If an operator approves a direct API-key smoke test, run a body-discarding
  4. For OAuth, send Authorization: Bearer … from the application's secret-
  5. Record timestamp, tenant alias, auth mode, HTTP status, elapsed time, and a
  6. Only after the connection proof succeeds, request approval for an employee-

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
    • Bash(curl:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • company-subdomain.bamboohr.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • BAMBOOHR_API_KEY

    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 Hello World 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 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 475 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
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 Minimal Connection Proof

Overview

Verify routing, TLS, authentication, and basic permission with the smallest useful call. Do not begin with the employee directory: it contains personal data and is unnecessary for a connectivity test.

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

Use the tenant-local host https://company-subdomain.bamboohr.com. The official OpenAPI operation GET /api/v1/company_information returns basic company profile information and supports OAuth or API-key authentication.

Authentication

Prefer a short-lived OAuth access token for partner integrations. For an internal API key, Basic auth uses the API key as username and x as password. Load secrets from the current process environment or an approved secret manager; never place a token directly in the command, URL, source file, or receipt.

Instructions

  1. Confirm the exact tenant subdomain and auth mode. Reject slashes, schemes, ports, and dots in the subdomain input.

  2. Inspect the project for an existing BambooHR client and reuse its timeout, user-agent, request-ID, and redaction controls.

  3. If an operator approves a direct API-key smoke test, run a body-discarding request:

    bash
    curl --fail-with-body --silent --show-error \
      --max-time 20 --output /dev/null --write-out '%{http_code}\n' \
      --user "${BAMBOOHR_API_KEY}:x" \
      "https://${BAMBOOHR_COMPANY_SUBDOMAIN}.bamboohr.com/api/v1/company_information"
  4. For OAuth, send Authorization: Bearer … from the application's secret- aware HTTP client rather than echoing a token through shell history.

  5. Record timestamp, tenant alias, auth mode, HTTP status, elapsed time, and a server request ID when available. Do not retain the response body.

  6. Only after the connection proof succeeds, request approval for an employee- scoped test with an explicitly minimized field list.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to find current client and configuration conventions. Use Write/Edit only to add an approved example or test. Bash is restricted to curl; show the exact host and body-retention behavior before executing it.

Safety Justification

The optional live request can reach sensitive HR infrastructure. It is limited to HTTPS, one read-only company-information endpoint, a finite timeout, no body retention, and operator approval for the tenant and credential.

Approval Boundaries

Do not make a live request, access an employee endpoint, install a package, or write credentials without explicit approval. A successful 200 proves only this identity can perform this operation; it does not prove broader access.

Output

Return a PASS/FAIL receipt with tenant alias, endpoint class, auth mode, status, latency, request ID, redaction confirmation, and the next narrow test.

Error Handling

  • DNS/TLS failure: verify the tenant subdomain and trust path.
  • 401: validate credential type and freshness without printing it.
  • 403: the identity lacks the operation; do not escalate permissions silently.
  • 429, 504, or 598: report the transient condition and defer to the retry skill.

Examples

  • "Test our BambooHR setup" produces a proposed body-discarding company-info check.
  • "Dump the directory to prove it works" is narrowed to the connection proof.

Resources

Read official evidence before running the smoke test.
