What it does

Bamboohr Install Auth is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Choose and configure BambooHR OAuth 2.0 or API-key authentication without leaking HR credentials. Use when registering a partner integration, wiring token refresh, or repairing tenant authentication. Trigger with "BambooHR auth", "BambooHR OAuth", "BambooHR API key", or "BambooHR token refresh".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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, covering OAuth and OpenID Connect and Authentication. 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.

Context cost

Bamboohr Install Auth loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 534 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2k

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 Authentication Setup

Overview

Configure the narrowest BambooHR identity that fits the integration. OAuth 2.0 is BambooHR's recommended path for partner integrations. An API key is suitable for an internal tool or prototype when its owning user's permissions and key lifecycle are acceptable.

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

  • Tenant API host: https://{company-subdomain}.bamboohr.com.
  • Authorization endpoint: https://{company-subdomain}.bamboohr.com/authorize.php.
  • Token endpoint: POST https://{company-subdomain}.bamboohr.com/token.php?request=token.
  • API-key requests use HTTP Basic authentication with the key as username and x as password.
  • BambooHR's official Python source supports OAuth, refresh, API keys, request IDs, retry controls, and redacted logging. As of 2026-09-11 the documented bamboohr-sdk distribution is not discoverable on public PyPI; verify the registry before installing or use an approved commit pin.

Authentication

For OAuth, register an HTTPS redirect URI, generate a high-entropy state, bind it to the initiating session, and reject callbacks whose state does not match. Exchange the code server-side. Store access token, refresh token, expiry, tenant, subject, and granted scope in an encrypted, tenant-scoped record.

For API keys, create a dedicated BambooHR user with only required field and workflow permissions. Store the key in the deployment secret manager. Never put it in .env.example, logs, shell history, test fixtures, or a client bundle.

Instructions

  1. Identify whether the integration is partner/multi-tenant or internal/single- tenant, and record the authentication decision.
  2. Derive the tenant subdomain from the customer's BambooHR URL; do not accept a full arbitrary host from untrusted input.
  3. For OAuth, implement authorization-code exchange, state validation, encrypted token persistence, rotation, and reauthorization after terminal refresh failure. The SDK does not persist refreshed tokens for the application.
  4. For API keys, assign a dedicated owner, document field permissions, and set a rotation and revocation procedure before use.
  5. Test with a low-sensitivity read such as company information. Capture status and request ID, but discard the response body from evidence.
  6. Exercise invalid-state, expired-token, revoked-key, wrong-tenant, and denied- field cases before production approval.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect existing configuration and secret references. Use Write or Edit only for approved application configuration; write placeholders, never credentials. This skill does not authorize browser consent, credential creation, package installation, or remote secret mutation.

Approval Boundaries

Require explicit approval before registering an OAuth app, changing redirect URIs, creating or rotating an API key, writing a deployment secret, or testing against a production tenant.

Output

Return the chosen auth mode, tenant, requested permissions, callback and token- storage design, test evidence without bodies, key/token owner, rotation plan, and every action still awaiting approval.

Error Handling

  • OAuth callback state mismatch: reject immediately and start a fresh flow.
  • 401: refresh once when configured; otherwise treat the credential as invalid.
  • 403: inspect the BambooHR user's field permissions; do not broaden blindly.
  • Refresh failure: stop bounded retries, preserve the last valid record, and require reauthorization.

Examples

  • "Configure OAuth for our multi-tenant HR connector" selects OAuth and designs tenant-isolated token persistence.
  • "Use this admin's API key in production" pauses until a dedicated least- privilege identity and rotation owner exist.
