basecamp SKILL.md skillA

basecamp from basecamp/basecamp-cli is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add basecamp/basecamp-cli/basecamp@git:20261106.5ca9c9d

Pins git:20261106.5ca9c9d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Interact with Basecamp through the Basecamp CLI. Use for any Basecamp question or action, including projects, todos, cards, messages, files, schedules, check-ins, people, assignments, notifications, search, and account settings.

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 CLI

Use the installed CLI as the command reference. This skill defines the operating
rules; it does not duplicate the CLI's command catalog.

## Discovery-first workflow

For each task:

1. Infer the deepest plausible leaf command from the user's words.
2. If its exact arguments or flags are not already established by a tool result
   in this conversation, inspect that leaf directly:

   ```bash
   basecamp <group> <subcommand> --agent --help
   ```

3. If the leaf does not exist, inspect its nearest parent group. Use root help
   only when the top-level group itself is unclear:

   ```bash
   basecamp <group> --agent --help   # fallback
   basecamp --agent --help           # last resort
   ```

4. Treat leaf `usage`, `args`, `flags`, and `notes` as the source of truth. Do
   not guess positional arguments, flags, aliases, scope, or whether a group
   runs bare.
5. Execute with an explicit output mode, then read structured errors and
   breadcrumbs before deciding what to do next.

Targeted leaf help is cheap and local; root help returns the full command catalog
and is not token-cheap. Do not load root help to confirm global flags
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add basecamp/basecamp-cli/basecamp@sha256:8d72d2e673408e9b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.5ca9c9d, 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.
