What it does

Bamboohr Local Dev Loop is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Create a fast BambooHR development loop with synthetic fixtures, a recording- free fake transport, contract tests, and opt-in test-tenant reads. Use when developing safely without copying employee data onto laptops. Trigger with "BambooHR local dev", "mock BambooHR", or "BambooHR test fixtures".

Its SKILL.md is about 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 Testing & QA, covering Integration testing and Test data and fixtures. 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

  • Developing safely without copying employee data onto laptops
  • With BambooHR local dev
  • BambooHR test fixtures

Example prompts

  • “BambooHR local dev”
  • “mock BambooHR”
  • “BambooHR test fixtures”
  • “/bamboohr-local-dev-loop”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect runtime, package manager, test framework, local configuration, and
  2. Put a transport interface behind the adapter. Implement an in-memory fake
  3. Create synthetic employees and HR objects with impossible domains and values.
  4. Add scenarios for 401, 403, 409, 412, 413, 422, 429, 503,
  5. Add a watch command that runs offline unit/contract tests only. Keep any
  6. For webhook development, generate payloads locally, verify raw-byte HMAC
  7. Document reset, seeded scenarios, schema-pin update, and the exact command

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 Local Dev Loop loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 456 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
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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 Local Development Loop

Overview

Make local iteration independent of production HR data and network availability. Use a fake transport whose fixtures are designed from the official schema, not recorded from real employees.

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 OpenAPI and SDK docs define operations, status codes, auth modes, pagination, and typed errors. They are suitable inputs for contract fixtures; they do not authorize copying actual BambooHR payloads into a repository.

Authentication

Default local configuration uses obvious non-secret placeholders and a fake transport. A live test-tenant profile is separate, ignored by version control, loaded from an approved secret store, and never activated by ordinary test or watch commands.

Instructions

  1. Inspect runtime, package manager, test framework, local configuration, and current BambooHR adapter.
  2. Put a transport interface behind the adapter. Implement an in-memory fake with explicit scripted responses and request assertions.
  3. Create synthetic employees and HR objects with impossible domains and values. Cover active/inactive/future states, missing permitted fields, pagination, empty results, and schema drift without realistic government IDs or records.
  4. Add scenarios for 401, 403, 409, 412, 413, 422, 429, 503, 504, 598, timeout, redaction, request IDs, and ambiguous mutation outcome.
  5. Add a watch command that runs offline unit/contract tests only. Keep any integration test behind an explicit profile and approval gate.
  6. For webhook development, generate payloads locally, verify raw-byte HMAC behavior with a synthetic key, and test replay/idempotency. Do not capture a real delivery as a fixture.
  7. Document reset, seeded scenarios, schema-pin update, and the exact command that proves the default loop performs no network calls.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect code and ignored paths. Use Write/Edit for approved fake transport, fixtures, tests, and developer docs. Do not install packages or access BambooHR under this skill.

Approval Boundaries

Require approval before adding a dependency, storing any live credential, calling a tenant, capturing traffic, or adding a fixture derived from customer data. Redaction does not automatically make a production payload reusable.

Output

Return transport boundary, scenario inventory, fixture provenance, commands, no-network proof, coverage for auth/retry/pagination/webhooks, test results, and any optional live profile that remains disabled.

Error Handling

  • Test attempts network access: fail the suite and identify the unmocked operation.
  • Fixture resembles real HR data: remove it and replace with synthetic values.
  • Fake diverges from pinned OpenAPI: update through a reviewed contract diff.

Examples

  • "Record production responses for tests" is rejected in favor of synthetic fixtures.
  • "Make BambooHR tests fast" yields an offline fake plus targeted contract tests.

Resources

Read official evidence when designing scenarios.
