What it does

Bamboohr SDK Patterns is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Select and wrap BambooHR's official Python or PHP SDK, or a narrow direct HTTP adapter, with tenant isolation and typed errors. Use when implementing a reusable client or replacing an unverified community package. Trigger with "BambooHR SDK", "BambooHR client", or "BambooHR integration patterns".

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, covering Third-party API integration and Multi-tenancy. It works with Python and PHP. 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

  • Implementing a reusable client
  • Replacing an unverified community package
  • With BambooHR SDK
  • BambooHR client

Example prompts

  • “BambooHR SDK”
  • “BambooHR client”
  • “BambooHR integration patterns”
  • “/bamboohr-sdk-patterns”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inventory language, package lock, existing HTTP client, and supported auth
  2. Verify the selected package in its public registry at implementation time.
  3. Define an adapter with explicit operations such as getCompanyInformation,
  4. Normalize errors into status, operation, retryability, request ID, and a
  5. Keep tenant, authentication, timeout, retry budget, and user-agent immutable
  6. Test request construction, tenant rejection, secret redaction, typed error

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 SDK Patterns 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 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 492 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
~1.1k
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 SDK and Client Patterns

Overview

Build a small application-owned adapter around a verified BambooHR transport. Keep BambooHR models and error details at the adapter boundary so upstream SDK regeneration or endpoint migration does not ripple through business logic.

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

  • BambooHR/bhr-api-python and BambooHR/bhr-api-php are official repositories.
  • bamboohr/api 2.0.1 is published on Packagist.
  • The Python repository documents bamboohr-sdk 1.0.0, but public PyPI did not expose that distribution on 2026-09-11 and the repository had no tag or release. Treat it as source-visible, not registry-proven.
  • No official npm BambooHR SDK was found; a TypeScript integration should use a narrow HTTP adapter rather than claim an official package.

Authentication

Expose constructors for OAuth and API-key identities, not raw headers. Bind each client to one validated tenant subdomain. If OAuth refresh is enabled, persist rotated tokens through the caller-owned callback; the Python SDK does not store them across restarts.

Instructions

  1. Inventory language, package lock, existing HTTP client, and supported auth modes with Read, Glob, and Grep.
  2. Verify the selected package in its public registry at implementation time. For an approved source install, pin an immutable commit and record its hash, license, provenance, and update owner.
  3. Define an adapter with explicit operations such as getCompanyInformation, listEmployees, and queryDatasetV2; do not expose an arbitrary URL method to untrusted callers.
  4. Normalize errors into status, operation, retryability, request ID, and a redacted summary. Preserve the original exception only in protected logs.
  5. Keep tenant, authentication, timeout, retry budget, and user-agent immutable for the life of a client instance.
  6. Test request construction, tenant rejection, secret redaction, typed error mapping, token-refresh persistence, and response-shape drift with fixtures.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to establish the project's language and package state. Use Write/Edit only for the approved adapter and tests. This skill does not authorize package installation, remote registry mutation, or live tenant calls.

Approval Boundaries

Require approval before adding a dependency, using an unreleased commit, making a tenant request, broadening OAuth scopes, or enabling debug logging around HR data. Never silently fall back from OAuth to an API key.

Output

Return the chosen transport and exact version/commit, registry verification, adapter operations, auth and tenant boundary, error taxonomy, test results, and remaining publication or live-test approvals.

Error Handling

  • Package absent from registry: stop; offer pinned-source review or direct HTTP.
  • SDK method absent for a documented endpoint: use the generated manual client only after checking the current OpenAPI, or implement a bounded HTTP adapter.
  • Response schema drift: quarantine the payload and fail the contract test.

Examples

  • "Install the official Python SDK" first proves public registry availability.
  • "Use an npm BambooHR SDK" reports that no official package was verified and proposes a three-operation HTTP adapter.

Resources

Read official evidence before choosing a transport.
