  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise.

Basecamp

Access the Basecamp 4 API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage projects, to-dos, messages, schedules, documents, and team collaboration.

Quick Start

# List all projects python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/basecamp/projects.json') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/basecamp/{resource}.json The gateway proxies requests to 3.basecampapi.com/{account_id}/ and automatically injects your OAuth token and account ID. Important: All Basecamp API URLs must end with .json.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY: export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

Sign in or create an account at maton.ai Go to maton.ai/settings Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Basecamp OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=basecamp&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'basecamp'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF Response: { "connection": { "connection_id": "71e313c8-9100-48c6-8ea1-6323f6fafd04", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2026-02-08T03:12:39.815086Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-02-08T03:12:59.259878Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "basecamp", "metadata": {} } } Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Basecamp connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header: python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/basecamp/projects.json') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '71e313c8-9100-48c6-8ea1-6323f6fafd04') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Basecamp uses Link header pagination with rel="next": Response Headers: Link: <https://3.basecampapi.com/.../page=2>; rel="next" X-Total-Count: 150 Follow the Link header URL for the next page. When next is absent, you've reached the last page. Important: Do not construct pagination URLs manually. Always use the URL provided in the Link header.

Buckets and Projects

A "bucket" is a project's content container. The bucket ID is the same as the project ID in URLs: /buckets/{project_id}/todosets/{todoset_id}.json

Dock

Each project has a "dock" containing available tools. Always check that a tool is enabled: true before using it: { "dock": [ {"name": "todoset", "id": 123, "enabled": true}, {"name": "message_board", "id": 456, "enabled": false} ] }

Recordings

All content items (todos, messages, documents, comments, etc.) are "recordings" with: status: "active", "archived", or "trashed" parent: navigation to container Unique IDs that can be used across endpoints

JavaScript

const response = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/basecamp/projects.json', { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` } } ); const projects = await response.json();

Python

import os import requests response = requests.get( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/basecamp/projects.json', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'} ) projects = response.json()

Notes

All API paths must end with .json The gateway automatically injects the account ID Uses Basecamp 4 API (bc3-api) Timestamps are in ISO 8601 format HTML content uses <div>, <p>, <strong>, <em>, <a>, <ul>, <ol>, <li> tags Rate limit: ~50 requests per 10 seconds per IP IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Error Handling

StatusMeaning400Missing Basecamp connection or bad request401Invalid or missing Maton API key404Resource not found, deleted, or no access429Rate limited (check Retry-After header)507Account limit reached (e.g., project limit)5xxServer error (retry with exponential backoff)

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set: echo $MATON_API_KEY Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

Ensure your URL path starts with basecamp. For example: Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/basecamp/projects.json Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/projects.json
