Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
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.
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. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Automate Basecamp operations including project management, to-do list creation, task management, message board posting, people management, and to-do group organization through Composio's Basecamp toolkit.
Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available) Active Basecamp connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit basecamp Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas
Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed โ just add the endpoint and it works. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit basecamp If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Basecamp OAuth Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
When to use: User wants to create to-do lists, add tasks, or organize work within a Basecamp project Tool sequence: BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS - List projects to find the target bucket_id [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS - Get the to-do set within a project [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS_TODOLISTS - List existing to-do lists to avoid duplicates [Optional] BASECAMP_POST_BUCKETS_TODOSETS_TODOLISTS - Create a new to-do list in a to-do set [Required for list creation] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS - Get details of a specific to-do list [Optional] BASECAMP_POST_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS_TODOS - Create a to-do item in a to-do list [Required for task creation] BASECAMP_CREATE_TODO - Alternative tool for creating individual to-dos [Alternative] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS_TODOS - List to-dos within a to-do list [Optional] Key parameters for creating to-do lists: bucket_id: Integer project/bucket ID (from GET_PROJECTS) todoset_id: Integer to-do set ID (from GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS) name: Title of the to-do list (required) description: HTML-formatted description (supports Rich text) Key parameters for creating to-dos: bucket_id: Integer project/bucket ID todolist_id: Integer to-do list ID content: What the to-do is for (required) description: HTML details about the to-do assignee_ids: Array of integer person IDs due_on: Due date in YYYY-MM-DD format starts_on: Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format notify: Boolean to notify assignees (defaults to false) completion_subscriber_ids: Person IDs notified upon completion Pitfalls: A project (bucket) can contain multiple to-do sets; selecting the wrong todoset_id creates lists in the wrong section Always check existing to-do lists before creating to avoid near-duplicate names Success payloads include user-facing URLs (app_url, app_todos_url); prefer returning these over raw IDs All IDs (bucket_id, todoset_id, todolist_id) are integers, not strings Descriptions support HTML formatting only, not Markdown
When to use: User wants to post messages to a project message board or update existing messages Tool sequence: BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS - Find the target project and bucket_id [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_GET_MESSAGE_BOARD - Get the message board ID for the project [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_CREATE_MESSAGE - Create a new message on the board [Required] BASECAMP_POST_BUCKETS_MESSAGE_BOARDS_MESSAGES - Alternative message creation tool [Fallback] BASECAMP_GET_MESSAGE - Read a specific message by ID [Optional] BASECAMP_PUT_BUCKETS_MESSAGES - Update an existing message [Optional] Key parameters: bucket_id: Integer project/bucket ID message_board_id: Integer message board ID (from GET_MESSAGE_BOARD) subject: Message title (required) content: HTML body of the message status: Set to "active" to publish immediately category_id: Message type classification (optional) subscriptions: Array of person IDs to notify; omit to notify all project members Pitfalls: status="draft" can produce HTTP 400; use status="active" as the reliable option bucket_id and message_board_id must belong to the same project; mismatches fail or misroute Message content supports HTML tags only; not Markdown Updates via PUT_BUCKETS_MESSAGES replace the entire body -- include the full corrected content, not just a diff Prefer app_url from the response for user-facing confirmation links Both CREATE_MESSAGE and POST_BUCKETS_MESSAGE_BOARDS_MESSAGES do the same thing; use CREATE_MESSAGE first and fall back to POST if it fails
When to use: User wants to list people, manage project access, or add new users Tool sequence: BASECAMP_GET_PEOPLE - List all people visible to the current user [Required] BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS - Find the target project [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_LIST_PROJECT_PEOPLE - List people on a specific project [Required] BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS_PEOPLE - Alternative to list project members [Alternative] BASECAMP_PUT_PROJECTS_PEOPLE_USERS - Grant or revoke project access [Required for access changes] Key parameters for PUT_PROJECTS_PEOPLE_USERS: project_id: Integer project ID grant: Array of integer person IDs to add to the project revoke: Array of integer person IDs to remove from the project create: Array of objects with name, email_address, and optional company_name, title for new users At least one of grant, revoke, or create must be provided Pitfalls: Person IDs are integers; always resolve names to IDs via GET_PEOPLE first project_id for people management is the same as bucket_id for other operations LIST_PROJECT_PEOPLE and GET_PROJECTS_PEOPLE are near-identical; use either Creating users via create also grants them project access in one step
When to use: User wants to organize to-dos within a list into color-coded groups Tool sequence: BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS - Find the target project [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS - Get the to-do list details [Prerequisite] BASECAMP_GET_TODOLIST_GROUPS - List existing groups in a to-do list [Optional] BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS_GROUPS - Alternative group listing [Alternative] BASECAMP_POST_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS_GROUPS - Create a new group in a to-do list [Required] BASECAMP_CREATE_TODOLIST_GROUP - Alternative group creation tool [Alternative] Key parameters: bucket_id: Integer project/bucket ID todolist_id: Integer to-do list ID name: Group title (required) color: Visual color identifier -- one of: white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, aqua, purple, gray, pink, brown status: Filter for listing -- "archived" or "trashed" (omit for active groups) Pitfalls: POST_BUCKETS_TODOLISTS_GROUPS and CREATE_TODOLIST_GROUP are near-identical; use either Color values must be from the fixed palette; arbitrary hex/rgb values are not supported Groups are sub-sections within a to-do list, not standalone entities
When to use: User wants to list projects, get project details, or explore project structure Tool sequence: BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS - List all active projects [Required] BASECAMP_GET_PROJECT - Get comprehensive details for a specific project [Optional] BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS_BY_PROJECT_ID - Alternative project detail retrieval [Alternative] Key parameters: status: Filter by "archived" or "trashed"; omit for active projects project_id: Integer project ID for detailed retrieval Pitfalls: Projects are sorted by most recently created first The response includes a dock array with tools (todoset, message_board, etc.) and their IDs Use the dock tool IDs to find todoset_id, message_board_id, etc. for downstream operations
Basecamp uses a hierarchical ID structure. Always resolve top-down: Project (bucket_id): BASECAMP_GET_PROJECTS -- find by name, capture the id To-do set (todoset_id): Found in project dock or via BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS Message board (message_board_id): Found in project dock or via BASECAMP_GET_MESSAGE_BOARD To-do list (todolist_id): BASECAMP_GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS_TODOLISTS People (person_id): BASECAMP_GET_PEOPLE or BASECAMP_LIST_PROJECT_PEOPLE Note: bucket_id and project_id refer to the same entity in different contexts
Basecamp uses page-based pagination on list endpoints: Response headers or body may indicate more pages available GET_PROJECTS, GET_BUCKETS_TODOSETS_TODOLISTS, and list endpoints return paginated results Continue fetching until no more results are returned
All rich text fields use HTML, not Markdown Wrap content in <div> tags; use <strong>, <em>, <ul>, <ol>, <li>, <a> etc. Example: <div><strong>Important:</strong> Complete by Friday</div>
All Basecamp IDs are integers, not strings or UUIDs bucket_id = project_id (same entity, different parameter names across tools) To-do set IDs, to-do list IDs, and message board IDs are found in the project's dock array Person IDs are integers; resolve names via GET_PEOPLE before operations
status="draft" for messages can cause HTTP 400; always use status="active" Project/to-do list status filters: "archived", "trashed", or omit for active
HTML only, never Markdown Updates replace the entire body, not a partial diff Invalid HTML tags may be silently stripped
Basecamp API has rate limits; space out rapid sequential requests Large projects with many to-dos should be paginated carefully
Prefer app_url from API responses for user-facing links Do not reconstruct Basecamp URLs manually from IDs
