At a glance

Apply Hootsuite security best practices for secrets and access control.

  • Works in 3 steps: Secure Token Storage → Token Refresh Security → Security Checklist
  • Securing API keys
  • SKILL.md covers Credential Inventory, Instructions, Overview and Prerequisites, plus 5 more sections
  • Reaches platform.hootsuite.com; needs HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_SECRET and HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN

What it does

Hootsuite Security Basics is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Apply Hootsuite security best practices for secrets and access control. Use when securing API keys, implementing least privilege access, or auditing Hootsuite security configuration. Trigger with phrases like "hootsuite security", "hootsuite secrets", "secure hootsuite", "hootsuite API key security".

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authorization and RBAC and Security review. 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

  • Securing API keys
  • Implementing least privilege access
  • Auditing Hootsuite security configuration
  • With phrases like hootsuite security

Example prompts

  • “hootsuite security”
  • “hootsuite secrets”
  • “secure hootsuite”
  • “/hootsuite-security-basics”

Requirements

  • A credential in HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_SECRET
  • A credential in HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Grep

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Secure Token Storage
  2. Token Refresh Security
  3. Security Checklist

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
    • Write
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and typescript).

    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:

    • platform.hootsuite.com

    Also links to:

    • developer.hootsuite.com

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

  • Credentials

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

    • HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_SECRET
    • HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN
    • HOOTSUITE_REFRESH_TOKEN

    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 Security Basics loads about 876 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 217 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~876

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:40
    # .env (never commit)

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.

Credential Inventory

CredentialScopeRotation
Client IDApp-levelNever (app identifier)
Client SecretApp-levelRotate if compromised
Access TokenUser sessionAuto-expires (~1 hour)
Refresh TokenUser sessionRotate on each refresh

Instructions

Step 1: Secure Token Storage
bash
# .env (never commit)
HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_ID=app_client_id
HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_SECRET=app_secret
HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN=current_token
HOOTSUITE_REFRESH_TOKEN=refresh_token
Step 2: Token Refresh Security
typescript
// Always use HTTPS for token exchange
// Store refresh tokens encrypted at rest
// Rotate refresh tokens on each use (Hootsuite returns new ones)
async function secureRefresh(refreshToken: string) {
  const res = await fetch('https://platform.hootsuite.com/oauth2/token', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
      'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(`${process.env.HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_ID}:${process.env.HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_SECRET}`).toString('base64')}`,
    },
    body: new URLSearchParams({ grant_type: 'refresh_token', refresh_token: refreshToken }),
  });
  const tokens = await res.json();
  // Store new refresh_token, discard old one
  return tokens;
}
Step 3: Security Checklist
  • Client secret in secrets vault, never in code
  • Access tokens never logged or exposed
  • Refresh tokens stored encrypted
  • HTTPS for all OAuth requests
  • Pre-commit hook blocks HOOTSUITE_ credential leaks
  • Separate OAuth apps for dev/staging/prod

Overview

Public publishing is a high-impact boundary: credentials, profile scope, audience selection, approval state, copy, and media must all be protected. This guidance keeps draft and publication paths distinct and auditable.

Prerequisites

  • A threat model naming credential custodians, account owners, approved profiles/audiences, incident owner, and secret manager.
  • Low-privilege sandbox credentials, draft-only fixtures, and tested revoke/disable/cancel procedures.

Output

Return a security receipt with environment, profile scope, reference version, approval/audience validation, revocation state, correlation ID, and rollback action. Never include tokens, copy, media, or account identities.

Error Handling

Stop for unknown profile/audience, absent approval, failed signature/validation, or public-post attempt from an unapproved path. Revoke credentials or disable scheduling when integrity is uncertain.

Examples

env=staging; profile=sandbox-brand; reference_version=version-12; approval=pass; audience=approved; public_posts=0; rollback=scheduler-disabled is an auditable control result.
