Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: 3.basecampapi.com, launchpad.37signals.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

The basecamp-assistant skill allows you to interact with your Basecamp projects directly through an AI agent. It can retrieve project information, summarize discussions, and potentially create new tasks or comments, streamlining your workflow within the platform. This skill aims to provide a conversational interface for managing aspects of your Basecamp experience.

When to use it

  • Quickly get updates on a specific project's progress without opening Basecamp.
  • Summarize recent discussions in a project to catch up quickly.
  • Create new tasks or add comments to projects hands-free.
  • Find specific information within your Basecamp account using natural language queries.

Key capabilities

  • Project Information Retrieval
  • Discussion Summarization
  • Task/Comment Creation (potential)

Example prompts

  • "What's the latest activity in my 'Marketing Campaign' project?"
  • "Summarize the discussion from yesterday in the 'Design Review' project."
  • "Create a new task in the 'Website Redesign' project called 'Update hero image'."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires access to your Basecamp account and appropriate permissions.
  • The ability to create tasks or comments may be limited depending on the specific implementation.
