Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

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. Guard a replacement login with --expect-identity <id> so a browser signed in as someone else cannot become the profile. A bot or CI profile that must never sign in interactively imports a personal access token instead: op read "op://<vault>/<item>/credential" | basecamp auth login --with-token -P <profile> --account <id> --expect-identity <id>

    Check oauth_type before suggesting either. basecamp auth status --json reports it, and agent means the profile is a Basecamp agent: a principal with no person behind it, which authenticates with its OAuth client rather than a sign-in. Both commands above would store a PERSON's credential under that profile and silently replace the agent. Its remediation is its own login, with the client secret piped in: op read "op://<vault>/<item>/credential" | basecamp auth login --with-client-credentials --client-id <id> -P <profile> --account <id> The CLI's own hint on an agent credential already names this command with the client id filled in — prefer it verbatim over reconstructing one, and follow it rather than choosing for yourself whenever oauth_type is absent.

  • 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

  • Grok skill specifically: basecamp setup grok (skill-only; Grok reads the shared ~/.agents/skills/basecamp skill)

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.

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 comment on a thread the agent follows, a boost on something it wrote. This session acknowledges each one that asks for something within seconds (a boost in its own words), picks the repo for the project, and hands the request to a background subagent that reads the context, does the work with your settings and tools, and replies as the agent. The session stays free to take the next request, and you can keep using it. Also connects an agent to this computer and manages its setup: the agent's credential (basecamp auth agent connect), who may give it work, and which projects it serves (basecamp connect setup), plus status and doctor. Use when asked to connect an agent, drive agents from Basecamp, watch Basecamp for an agent's mentions, start or stop the connector, or change who can give the agent work or which projects it serves.
