Jeremy Daer 0cd0a040bf Reposition as agent skills for all 37signals products (#6)
* Fix link to Basecamp CLI install guide

* Reposition as agent skills for all 37signals products

This repo publishes the agent skills of Basecamp, HEY, and Fizzy, but the
README, install guide, and AGENTS.md still described it as Basecamp-only.

README: name all three products, list every skill with the product and the
CLI repo it is published from, and say where the hey and fizzy skills are
until they land here (hey is absent because of the shared-manifest sync bug
in #5; fizzy-cli has no skills sync yet). Requirements per product use each
CLI's documented installer and auth command; the Homebrew cask is
basecamp/tap/basecamp-cli, not basecamp/tap/basecamp, which does not exist.

install.md: restructured per the install-md spec so an agent installs the
Basecamp CLI (required) and the HEY and Fizzy CLIs only for the products the
user has, with a verify step per product and a DONE WHEN that holds when only
one CLI is installed. Points at the lowercase basecamp-cli install.md.

AGENTS.md: describe the multi-source layout, the per-source manifests each
sync owns and the legacy .managed-skills tombstone, and the rule that skills
are edited upstream in each CLI's skills/ directory.

* Describe all 37signals products in the plugin manifest, version 0.2.0

The plugin and marketplace descriptions said Basecamp only. Name Basecamp,
HEY, and Fizzy, and bump the version. The plugin name stays basecamp-skills
so existing installs keep resolving.

* Test the authenticated flag, since auth status exits 0 when signed out

All three CLIs' auth status commands return their OK envelope whether or
not you are signed in (basecamp-cli app.OK, hey-cli writeOK, fizzy-cli
printDetail), so a bare `auth status` in the DONE WHEN and the verify
steps never failed. Test the JSON envelope's "authenticated": true
instead, with --json so the shape does not depend on a TTY. Each CLI
pretty-prints with a two-space indent, so that literal is exact.

* Point at the proposed fizzy-cli skills sync

* Make each product optional in install.md and install the absent skills from their CLIs

* Say which skills the plugin bundles today

The plugin description named Basecamp, HEY and Fizzy as though all three
were packaged, while skills/ holds only the Basecamp ones until the hey-cli
and fizzy-cli syncs publish here. Keep the 37signals scope and state what
installs now, in plugin.json and the matching marketplace plugin entry.

* Stop when the products you chose are signed in, not every CLI on PATH

The completion predicate required every product CLI found on PATH to be signed
in, so a machine with an unused, unauthenticated hey or fizzy binary could never
finish a Basecamp-only run — or worse, sent the agent to sign in to a product the
user did not choose. Completion now follows the TODO: each chosen product's
auth status must report authenticated, at least one, and a CLI for a product
that was not chosen is left alone.

* Install the hey and fizzy skills even when their CLIs were already installed

Steps 2 and 3 told the reader to skip the installer when the CLI was present,
but the only `skill install` command sat behind that installer in one && chain,
so a machine that already had the CLI could finish the run without the
selected product's skill. Each step is now three lines that stand alone: the
installer runs only when the CLI is missing, sign-in only when not already
signed in, and the skill install every time.

Agent Skills for 37signals products

Agent skills for Basecamp, HEY, and Fizzy. Each skill teaches a coding agent to work in one product through that product's CLI.

npx skills add basecamp/skills

That installs every skill in skills/. See install.md for the full setup, including installing and authenticating each CLI.

Skills

Skill Product Published from Description
basecamp Basecamp basecamp-cli Interact with Basecamp via the Basecamp CLI. Full API coverage: projects, todos, cards, messages, files, schedule, check-ins, timeline, recordings, templates, webhooks, subscriptions, lineup, chat, pings, gauges, assignments, notifications, bookmarks, bubble-up, drafts, notes, calendars, and accounts.
basecamp-doctor Basecamp basecamp-cli Diagnose Basecamp CLI, authentication, and agent-plugin health.
hey HEY hey-cli Interact with HEY via the HEY CLI. Read and send email; manage contacts, boxes, labels, collections, calendars, todos, habits, time tracking, and journal entries. Missing from skills/ right now (see below).
fizzy Fizzy fizzy-cli Interact with Fizzy via the Fizzy CLI. Manage boards, cards, columns, comments, steps, reactions, tags, users, notifications, pins, webhooks, and account settings. Not published here yet (see below).

hey is absent because of a sync bug (#5): the basecamp-cli and hey-cli release syncs shared one .managed-skills manifest, so each product's release deleted the other product's skills. Fixes are in flight in both CLIs. The skill returns automatically on the first hey-cli release after that fix ships. Until then, get it from hey-cli/skills/hey, or run hey skill install, which installs it from the CLI itself.

fizzy is not published here yet: fizzy-cli's release has no skills sync. One is proposed in fizzy-cli#214; once it ships, the skill arrives with the next fizzy-cli release. Get it from fizzy-cli/skills/fizzy, or run fizzy skill install.

Requirements

Each skill drives its product's CLI, so install and authenticate the CLI for the products you use. One is enough; the skills for the others sit idle.

Contributing

Skills are never edited in this repo; a change made here is overwritten by the next release of the CLI that owns it. Open issues and pull requests against the skill's source instead:

Issues about this repo itself (the README, install.md, the plugin manifest, or the publishing) belong here.

About

This repo is a publish target. On each release, a CLI's scripts/sync-skills.sh copies its skills/ tree into skills/ here, records the directories it owns in a manifest, and commits straight to main. Only the README, install.md, AGENTS.md, and .claude-plugin/ are written by hand.
