/basecamp - Basecamp Workflow Command

Full CLI coverage: 189 tracked in-scope endpoints across todos, cards, messages, files, schedule, check-ins, timeline, recordings, templates, webhooks, subscriptions, lineup, chat, pings, gauges, assignments, notifications, and accounts.

Agent Invariants

MUST follow these rules:

Choose the right output mode — --jq when you need to filter/extract data; --json for full JSON; --md when presenting results to a human (see Output Modes below). Never pipe to external jq — use --jq instead.
Parse URLs first with basecamp url parse "<url>" to extract IDs
Comments are flat - reply to parent recording, not to comments
Check context via .basecamp/config.json before assuming project
Content fields accept Markdown and @mentions — message body and comment content accept Markdown syntax; the CLI converts to HTML automatically. Use Markdown formatting (lists, bold, links, code blocks, tables) for rich content. Four mention syntaxes are available (prefer deterministic for agents):
- [@Name](mention:SGID) — zero API calls, embeds SGID directly (preferred for agents)
- [@Name](person:ID) — one API call, resolves person ID to SGID via pingable set
- @sgid:VALUE — inline SGID embed for pipeline composability
- @Name / @First.Last — fuzzy name resolution (may be ambiguous) For todos, documents, and cards, content is sent as-is — use plain text or HTML directly.
Table boundary: GFM tables round-trip: they render in message/comment bodies, display converts them back to pipe tables, and the TUI in-place editors open simple grids for editing. Only complex tables — merged cells (colspan/rowspan), captions, extra header rows, nested tables, attachments/images or block content inside cells, multi-paragraph or multi-line cells, or a table inside a blockquote or list — refuse to open, since a GFM pipe table can't represent those shapes (edit them on Basecamp web, or replace the whole field via messages update / comments update / todos update --description, which take fresh content and are unaffected). Complex tables still display best-effort, flattened to a plain grid.

Multiline / non-ASCII content: do not rely on bash ANSI-C quoting ($'...\n...') — it is a bash/zsh extension. Under a POSIX /bin/sh (dash, busybox-ash, common in sandboxes) the $ is passed through literally and posts a stray leading $, and \n stays a literal backslash-n. Pipe the content via stdin instead, using - as the content argument:
```
printf '%s\n' '海报 mockup 方向稿：' '' '<bc-attachment ...>' | basecamp comments create <recording_id> - --in <project> --json
```
- means "read from stdin" on every content input: content-kind positionals (comments create/update, messages create [body], cards create [body], todos create, docs documents create [content], chat post/update, boost create, checkins answer create/update, notes set) and content flags (--data on api post/put, --body, --content, --description, --comment on todos sweep, --file on notes set). Each command's --agent help lists its stdin inputs. Rules:
- A pipe is never consumed implicitly — without - it is ignored (or, where content is required and missing, the error teaches -).
- Only one input can read stdin per invocation.
- A literal - anywhere else (a title, a name, a path) errors when stdin is piped. Escape a positional after the -- separator (basecamp projects create -- -); a flag value has no in-line escape — run the command without piped stdin. basecamp help and shell completion are exempt: they write nothing to Basecamp, and completion legitimately receives - as the word being completed.
- - with nothing piped (interactive TTY) errors immediately instead of hanging; use a pipe, a heredoc (basecamp comments create <id> - <<'EOF'), or --edit where offered.
- Trailing newlines are trimmed from stdin content, so printf 'x\n' | ... - posts x (this keeps boost create - inside its 16-rune limit).
Project scope is mandatory for most commands — via --in <project> or .basecamp/config.json. Cross-project exceptions: basecamp reports assigned for assigned work, basecamp assignments for structured assignment views, basecamp reports overdue for overdue todos, basecamp reports schedule for upcoming schedule across all projects, basecamp recordings <type> for browsing by type, basecamp notifications for notifications, basecamp gauges list for account-wide gauges, and the seven list commands covered in item 7.
Account-wide listing. basecamp todos list --all-projects --json lists across every project; the same flag does the same on cards list, messages list, comments list, files list, forwards list, and checkins answers. It overrides a configured project, and with no project in scope those commands already list account-wide rather than prompting. Flags that name something inside a single project are rejected there rather than silently ignored. Account-wide listings return the first 100 items by default — account-wide "all" is the whole account, not one project's worth. Use --limit N to raise the cap (it walks pages until N are collected) or --all for everything. --page N fetches exactly one page, but only on the paginated listings. The two overdue variants — basecamp todos list --all-projects --overdue and basecamp cards list --all-projects --overdue — come from unpaginated endpoints. They accept --limit and --all but reject --page, so do not generate --page against them.

Output Modes

Choosing a mode:

Goal	Flag	Format
Filter/extract JSON data	`--jq '<expr>'`	Built-in jq filter (no external jq needed). Implies `--json`; filter runs on the envelope.
Filter in agent mode	`--agent --jq '<expr>'`	Filter runs on data-only payload (no envelope), matching `--agent` contract.
Full JSON output	`--json`	JSON envelope: `{ok, data, summary, breadcrumbs, meta}`; errors: `{ok:false, error, code, retryable, hint, meta}`
Show results to a user	`--md` / `-m`	GFM tables, task lists, structured Markdown
Automation / scripting	`--agent`	Success: raw JSON data (no envelope); errors: `{ok:false,...}` object; no interactive prompts

Always pass --json or --md explicitly — auto-detection depends on config and may not produce the format you expect. Use --md when composing reports, summarizing data, or displaying results inline. --agent is for headless integration scripts.

Avoiding interactive prompts. The flags --agent/--json/--quiet/--ids-only/--count and the environment variable BASECAMP_NONINTERACTIVE=1 suppress interactive selection prompts. --md does not — if a required target is ambiguous (e.g. a project with multiple todosets and no --todoset), and the CLI is attached to a terminal, it will show a blocking picker. When you need Markdown output and no prompts, either pass the flag that names whatever is ambiguous (--todoset <id> for the todoset case above, or --in <project> / --list <id> when the project or list is ambiguous) or set BASECAMP_NONINTERACTIVE=1 in the environment. BASECAMP_NONINTERACTIVE disables all prompts (they become actionable errors instead) without changing the output format — an escape hatch for agents running under a PTY.

Other modes: --quiet (success: raw JSON, no envelope; errors: {ok:false,...}), --ids-only, --count, --stats (session statistics), --styled (force ANSI), -v / -vv (verbose/trace), --jq '<expr>' (built-in jq filter — see below).

CLI Introspection

Navigate unfamiliar commands with --agent --help — returns structured JSON describing any command:

basecamp todos --agent --help

{"command":"todos","path":"basecamp todos","short":"...","long":"...","usage":"...","notes":["..."],
 "subcommands":[{"name":"sweep","short":"...","path":"basecamp todos sweep"}],
 "flags":[{"name":"assignee","type":"string","default":"","usage":"..."}],
 "inherited_flags":[{"name":"json","shorthand":"j","type":"bool","default":"false","usage":"..."}]}

Walk the tree: start at basecamp --agent --help for top-level commands, then drill into any subcommand. Commands carry domain-specific agent hints (e.g., "--assignee filters the account-wide listing only; within a project, fetch all and filter client-side").

Pagination

basecamp <cmd> --limit 50   # Cap results (default varies by resource)
basecamp <cmd> --all        # Fetch all (may be slow for large datasets)
basecamp <cmd> --page 1     # First page only, no auto-pagination

--all and --limit are mutually exclusive. --page cannot combine with either.

Smart Defaults

--assignee me resolves to current user
--due tomorrow / --due +3 / --due "next week" — natural date parsing, when setting a due date (todos create, todos update, cards create, and so on)
--due on a listing is a different flag and does not take dates: it accepts only with, without, or overdue, and only account-wide. basecamp todos list --due tomorrow is rejected. For date-based listing use --overdue, --no-due-date, or basecamp assignments due <scope>
Project from .basecamp/config.json if --in not specified
Multiple identities use named profiles: basecamp profile create <name>, then select one with global --profile <name> or BASECAMP_PROFILE=<name>.

Quick Reference

Note: Most queries require project scope (via --in <project> or .basecamp/config.json). Cross-project exceptions: basecamp reports assigned, basecamp assignments, basecamp reports overdue, basecamp reports schedule, basecamp recordings <type>, basecamp notifications, basecamp gauges list.

Seven list commands also list account-wide: basecamp todos list --all-projects --json, and likewise cards list, messages list, `c

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
The SKILL.md excerpt is truncated; the full document likely includes setup and usage details, but the visible portion is comprehensive.
The skill depends on an external CLI (`basecamp-cli`) that must be installed and authenticated; the SKILL.md should explicitly state prerequisites and authentication steps.

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
