Authenticate production Podium integrations and survive the auth-side failures —

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

24# Podium Auth
25
26## Overview
27
28Authenticate a service to the Podium API and operate the auth layer in production. This is not a setup walkthrough — it is the auth code your integration runs at 3am when a refresh token expires after the long weekend, when a Podium admin removes a scope on re-grant, when an agency credential router sends a request to the wrong location, and when on-call needs to rotate a leaked client secret without dropping in-flight call-transcript webhooks.
29
30The six production failures this skill prevents:
31
321. **Access-token expiry storms** — OAuth2 access tokens expire on the order of an hour. Every concurrent request notices expiry simultaneously, races to refresh, the token endpoint rate-limits, and the integration cascades to red. Reactive refresh on 401 is wrong.
332. **Refresh-token decay (90-day non-use clock)** — Podium refresh tokens expire after 90 days without use. Integrations with seasonal usage patterns (a campervan retailer's off-season) silently lose access on day 91 and require a full user reconnection.
343. **Scope drift on re-grant** — When a Podium organization admin re-grants the OAuth app, the new token's scope set may differ from the old one. Cached tokens start returning 403 on previously-working endpoints. Retrying does not help.
354. **Secret leakage in commits** — Podium client secrets are wide-scope and not auto-expiring. A single leaked commit exposes the entire integration. Standard .env hygiene is non-optional.
365. **Multi-tenant credential routing** — Agencies managing 50+ Podium organizations cannot use a single env var. Requests sent to the wrong organization silently operate on the wrong location's contacts and webchats with no error.
376. **Rotation without downtime** — Rotating a leaked client secret naively drops every in-flight webhook handler. Production rotation needs dual-credential overlap, drained refresh, and a verified health check before the old secret is revoked.

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈240
always loaded

050k100k150k200k context window

15.7k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Heavy. Teams tend to install this one per project rather than globally, and load it only when the job comes up.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

It asks the agent to write files, using whatever file access your client already has. Whether it reaches the network is not declared.

What it asks for
Writes filesyes
Network accessnot declared

Read from the allowed-tools line of this skill’s own SKILL.md. It also asks for Bash, which could do either, so what is not named there is not ruled out. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

11 files, 78.2 kB on disk. Mostly text — the instructions the model reads — with 4 scripts in it that your client would run only if the instructions tell it to.

  • ARD.md12.3 kB
  • PRD.md10.2 kB

What is not in it

A skill installs nothing and depends on nothing: it is a folder your client reads. This one carries 4 scripts beside the text, so the bundle is 11 files you can review in full before installing. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# Podium Auth · 15.7k tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/podium-auth/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/podium-auth" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/podium-auth ] || { mv .claude/skills/podium-auth "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/podium-auth" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/podium-auth"
On Windows, or any OS with Node 20+
npx mcprush@latest skill add jeremylongshore/podium-auth

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/podium-auth/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/podium-auth/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/podium-auth" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/podium-auth ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/podium-auth "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/podium-auth" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/podium-auth" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/podium-auth/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

v2.12.0 is what is on the shelf; no release here carries a date. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

v2.12.0
  • No earlier releases have been published to the marketplace.
Pinning

The install command always fetches the release that is current the day you run it — v2.12.0 today — and cannot ask for an earlier one. The copy on your disk does not change until you run it again.
