basecamp-doctor: Workflow Automation for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Basecamp Doctor

Run the structured diagnostic:

basecamp doctor --json

Interpret every check by status:

pass: working correctly.
warn: usable, but follow-up is recommended.
skip: not run because it is unauthenticated or not applicable.
fail: broken and needs attention.

Report failures and warnings with their hint fields. Also inspect the top-level breadcrumbs array and preserve its structured cmd next steps, because a breadcrumb can provide a more specific action than a check hint. Use these common remediations when relevant:

Basecamp authentication: basecamp auth login
Agent plugin installation or version: basecamp setup agents (honors BASECAMP_SETUP_AGENT)
Codex plugin specifically: basecamp setup codex
Claude Code plugin specifically: basecamp setup claude

Every remediation above runs without a terminal. Bare basecamp setup is the human first-time flow and is not one of them: it opens browser OAuth and refuses with a usage error in machine-output modes or unless stdin, stdout, and stderr are all terminals. basecamp setup --customize additionally asks the user to choose each default. Suggest either to a human at a terminal if useful, but never run them yourself — use the subcommands above.

Do not read, print, or request credential files. If every check passes, say that Basecamp and its agent integration are ready.

# Basecamp Doctor

Run the structured diagnostic:

```bash
basecamp doctor --json
```

Interpret every check by status:

- `pass`: working correctly.
- `warn`: usable, but follow-up is recommended.
- `skip`: not run because it is unauthenticated or not applicable.
- `fail`: broken and needs attention.

Report failures and warnings with their `hint` fields. Also inspect the top-level `breadcrumbs` array and preserve its structured `cmd` next steps, because a breadcrumb can provide a more specific action than a check hint. Use these common remediations when relevant:

- Basecamp authentication: `basecamp auth login`
- Agent plugin installation or version: `basecamp setup agents` (honors `BASECAMP_SETUP_AGENT`)
- Codex plugin specifically: `basecamp setup codex`
- Claude Code plugin specifically: `basecamp setup claude`

Every remediation above runs without a terminal. Bare `basecamp setup` is the
human first-time flow and is **not** one of them: it opens browser OAuth and
refuses with a usage error in machine-output modes or unless stdin, stdout, and
stderr are all terminals. `basecamp setup --customize` additionally asks the user to
choose each default. Suggest either to a human at a terminal if useful, but
never run them yourself — use the subcommands above.

Do not read, print, or request credential files. If every check passes, say that Basecamp and its agent integration are ready.

Review the source

Skill source recorded

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
Quality score needs review
Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution

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.
