Drive your own Claude Code session from Basecamp. Starts the local connector (basecamp connect), which listens to the account's event feed as a Basecamp agent and prints one line per trusted request: a mention, an assignment, a ping from its operator, a comment on a thread the agent follows, a boost on something it wrote. The connector boosts each one that asks for something the moment it arrives; this session puts that boost in its own words, picks the repo for the project, and hands…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# /basecamp-connect: drive your agent from Basecamp Someone @mentions the agent in Basecamp, assigns it a card or to-do, or pings it. This session acknowledges it as the agent within seconds, a background subagent does the work in the right repo with your own Claude Code setup, and the agent replies in place. Three pieces: - **The agent**: a Basecamp person of its own, owned by you, connected to this computer under a CLI profile (often named after the agent). - **The connector**: `basecamp connect -P '<profile>'`. It listens to the account's event feed as the agent, checks each event against who may give the agent work and which projects it serves, and prints one line per trusted request. It boosts each one that asks for something first, and does nothing else. - **This session**: the orchestrator. It watches those lines, words each acknowledgement, chooses the repo, and dispatches one background subagent per request. It never does the work itself. Claude Code only. The connector runs on Linux and macOS. ## Running the connector ### 1. Start it, and watch its output One connector per profile can run in this state directory. If another holds …

How to install
mdr add basecamp/skills/basecamp-connect@sha256:5848d6a3d4b410a2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.4830de8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
