Intercom Install Auth

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Setting up a new Intercom integration
• Configuring API credentials
• Initializing the intercom-client SDK in your project
• With phrases like install intercom

Example prompts

• “install intercom”
• “setup intercom”
• “intercom auth”
• “/intercom-install-auth”

Requirements

• Node.js
• A credential in INTERCOM_ACCESS_TOKEN
• A credential in INTERCOM_CLIENT_SECRET
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Write, Bash(npm:*)

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Install the SDK
2. 2Configure Access Token Authentication
3. 3Verify Connection
4. 4OAuth Setup (Public Apps)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. 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:

  • Write
  • Bash(npm:*)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npm

  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):

  • developers.intercom.com
  • npmjs.com

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

• Credentials

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

  • INTERCOM_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • INTERCOM_CLIENT_SECRET

  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

Intercom Install Auth loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 406 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~93

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

~2.4k

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

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:24

  s Write to create the client config and `.env`, and verifies the connection.

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:45

  Write to create the client module and a `.env` holding the token (add `.env` to `.gitignore`):

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:55

  d](references/examples.md) for the full `.env` setup and secure-storage steps.

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:84

  - A `.env` holding `INTERCOM_ACCESS_TOKEN` (private app) or `INTERCOM_CLIENT_ID` / `INTERCOM_CLIENT_SECRET` (OAuth), wit

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.
