# OpenCLI Agent Pack: Basecamp CLI

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `basecamp`.

## What this CLI is for
The official CLI from Basecamp. Manage projects, todos, messages, and more from the terminal. Start with `basecamp auth login` and go from there. Supports structured output — good for scripts and agents.

Best for: Project management workflows, todos, messages, and search inside Basecamp from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Great for agents (75/100)
- Structured output is available for parsing.
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Works well in CI or repeatable automation.

## Install
```sh
curl -fsSL https://basecamp.com/install-cli | bash
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
basecamp --help
```
Expected signal: basecamp responds locally; authenticate before real work.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
basecamp --help
```

```sh
basecamp auth login && basecamp projects list
```

```sh
basecamp auth login
```

```sh
basecamp projects list
```

```sh
basecamp todos list --in 12345
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Verify identity/account before running task commands.
- Network access is required; avoid leaking secrets in logs.
- Start read-only, then ask before mutations.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use Basecamp CLI (`basecamp`) for project management workflows, todos, messages, and search inside basecamp from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
