Hootsuite Reference Architecture

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Designing new Hootsuite integrations
• Reviewing project structure
• Establishing architecture standards for Hootsuite applications
• With phrases like hootsuite architecture

Example prompts

• “hootsuite architecture”
• “hootsuite best practices”
• “hootsuite project structure”
• “/hootsuite-reference-architecture”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Map every trigger-to-profile path with owner, audience, approval state, allowed operation, idempotency, observability, and rollback.
2. 2Begin with draft-only sandbox fixtures and fail closed on unknown profile, audience, destination, or approval state.
3. 3Make scheduling idempotent and bounded; quarantine uncertainty rather than posting, resubmitting, or exporting copy for debugging.
4. 4Canary one draft-only profile with aggregate signals before promotion and retain the previous revision.
5. 5Re-evaluate controls after changes to accounts, audiences, credentials, schedules, or approval policy.

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
  • Grep

  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

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • developer.hootsuite.com

  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

Hootsuite Reference Architecture loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~103

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.1k

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

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.
