# authsome

Routes the agent's outbound HTTPS through a proxy that adds stored credentials as headers. Useful when a task needs the GitHub or Stripe API without pasting a token.

## What it does

This skill sends the agent's outbound traffic through a proxy that attaches stored credentials to the request headers. The agent never reads or handles the secret values. Any bash command, script or `curl` call that reaches an outside service runs as `authsome run -- <command>`, and the gateway fills in authorization when that app is already connected.

Ordinary HTTP clients work without extra setup: `curl`, `fetch`, `requests`, `axios` and `git` pick up the `HTTPS_PROXY` environment variable on their own. You don't write auth headers by hand. Connecting a service happens through `authsome login <provider>`, which opens a browser on the user's machine so the OAuth step never touches the terminal; `authsome provider list` shows what is linked.

Install with `uv tool install authsome`. When that fails, fall back to `pipx install authsome`, or use `uvx authsome@latest <command>` for a single run. A 401 means the stored credentials expired: revoke them with `authsome provider revoke <provider>` and log in again. A 403 points to missing permissions, and registering a fresh provider won't fix it — reuse the existing one with `authsome login <provider> --scopes repo,user,gist`. If the gateway answers 403 with a JSON body, that's a policy block and it should be left alone.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub, Gmail, Stripe

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add agentrhq/authsome --skill authsome -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/authsome/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/authsome/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add agentrhq/authsome --skill authsome -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/authsome/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add agentrhq/authsome --skill authsome -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/authsome/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install agentrhq/authsome authsome
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/authsome/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add agentrhq/authsome --skill authsome -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/agentrhq/authsome --path skills/authsome
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/authsome/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add agentrhq/authsome --skill authsome -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/agentrhq/authsome/tree/HEAD/skills/authsome/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- query the GitHub API without exposing a token in chat
- link Gmail or Google Calendar to the agent over OAuth
- run a python script that makes outbound HTTP calls
- re-authenticate a service with the right scopes after a 403
- hit Stripe from `curl` while keeping the key out of the terminal

## Example prompts
- List my 10 latest repos with `authsome run -- curl -s "https://api.github.com/user/repos?per_page=10"`
- Connect Gmail: run `authsome login gmail`, then check it with `authsome provider list`
- Run my script that calls external APIs: `authsome run -- python my_agent_script.py`

# Authsome

Your outbound HTTPS traffic is transparently proxied through the Authsome,
a proxy service that injects stored credentials as HTTP headers. You never
see or handle credential values directly.

## How to Access External Services

You have direct HTTP access to external APIs. OAuth apps (Gmail, GitHub,
Google Calendar, Google Drive, etc.) and API key services are all available
through the gateway. Just make the request by appending `authsome run -- ` to
any bash command; the gateway injects credentials if the app is connected.

## Making Requests

Call the real API URL. The gateway intercepts the request and injects
credentials automatically.

```bash
authsome run -- <command>
authsome run -- curl -s "https://api.github.com/user/repos?per_page=10"
authsome run -- python my_agent_script.py
```

Standard HTTP clients (curl, fetch, requests, axios, Go net/http, git) all
honor the `HTTPS_PROXY` environment variable automatically. You do not need
to set any auth headers.

---

## Login Flow

- Run `authsome login <provider>` via Bash yourself — do NOT ask the user to
  run this. The browser opens on their machine; they complete OAuth without touching
  the terminal.
- Poll the status of the login using `authsome provider list` after a few seconds
  - **If connected** — proceed normally.
  - **If not yet connected** — display the authentication URL to the user, ask them to complete the login in their browser, and report back once done. Once the user confirms, run `authsome provider list` again to verify the connection before continuing.

---

## When a Request Fails

### If authsome is not installed on the agent's machine:

Install authsome using `uv tool install authsome`

Only when uv tool install fails, use fallback: `pipx install authsome` or `uvx authsome@latest <command>` for one-off use (say when running inside sandboxed environments).

### If you get an authentication error (401, 403) follow this decision tree:

**1. Run `authsome provider list` to see all providers and their connections**
