basecamp
Basecamp API integration with managed OAuth. Manage projects, to-dos, messages, schedules, documents, and team collaboration. Use this skill when users want to create and manage projects, to-do lists, schedule events, or collaborate with teams in Basecamp. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Requires network access and valid Maton API key.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/basecampWhat This Skill Does
The basecamp skill for OpenClaw provides a robust, managed integration with the Basecamp 4 API. It streamlines team collaboration by allowing AI agents to perform complex project management tasks directly through the Maton API gateway. By handling OAuth authentication and proxying requests to Basecamp's API infrastructure, this skill eliminates the need for manual token management or direct HTTP overhead. It enables users to programmatically interact with projects, to-do lists, message boards, schedules, and documents, acting as an intelligent bridge between natural language instructions and Basecamp's structured data environment.
Installation
To integrate this skill, use the ClawKit CLI within your environment. Execute the command clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/byungkyu/basecamp to fetch the necessary modules. After installation, ensure that your MATON_API_KEY is set as an environment variable in your system configuration. You must also authorize the connection by visiting https://ctrl.maton.ai, where you can initiate an OAuth handshake to link your specific Basecamp account. Once the status of your connection is marked as 'ACTIVE', the skill is ready for use.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for automating team workflows. Common use cases include: summarizing daily task updates across multiple Basecamp projects, automatically creating project milestones based on email requests, syncing meeting agendas into Basecamp schedules, and programmatically retrieving document attachments for reporting purposes. It excels at coordinating cross-functional team communication where structured tracking of tasks and messages is required.
Example Prompts
- "Check the status of the current sprint in our Marketing project and list all incomplete to-dos assigned to me."
- "Create a new project in Basecamp titled 'Q3 Launch Strategy' and add a message to the team announcing the start of the project."
- "Summarize the recent discussions in the 'Website Overhaul' message board and create a schedule event for our next sync-up meeting on Friday."
Tips & Limitations
Always ensure that your API URLs terminate with the .json extension, as the gateway requires this for proper routing. While the skill is powerful, it is restricted to the Basecamp 4 API. If you need to integrate with other platforms, please utilize the api-gateway skill instead. Be mindful of Basecamp's rate limits, and always verify your connection status through the Maton control panel if you experience connectivity issues.
