Implementation

When user invokes a BotSee command, run the corresponding Python script. All commands use a single bundled script that handles API calls internally.

/botsee (status)

CODEBLOCK0

/botsee signup [--email EMAIL] [--name NAME] [--company COMPANY] [--api-key KEY]

New user signup flow (credit card):

Step 1: Get signup URL
CODEBLOCK1

The command prints a line like:
CODEBLOCK2

Extract that URL and tell the user:
"To complete your BotSee signup, visit this URL: [URL from above]

After completing signup on that page, come back here and run /botsee signup-status."

Step 2: Save your API key

After completing signup on that page, run:

/botsee signup-status

The script retrieves your API key from the server automatically using your signup token.
If prompted for a token, use the token from the URL on the setup page.

/botsee signup-usdc [--email EMAIL] [--name NAME] [--company COMPANY] [--no-email]

USDC signup flow (x402 on Base):

Step 1 — Ask the user before calling the API

When signup-usdc is invoked without already knowing the user's preference, ask:

"Do you want to associate an email with this account?

• - Yes (email) — You'll get a setup link to verify your email and access the dashboard later
• No (API only) — Skip email entirely and go straight to payment"

Step 2a — Email path

Call:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/botsee/scripts/botsee.py signup-usdc

The command prints a line like:
CODEBLOCK4

Extract that URL and tell the user:
"Visit this URL to enter and verify your email and read the setup instructions: [URL from above]

Once you've done that, come back here and we'll complete the USDC payment."

Do NOT call signup-pay-usdc yet. Wait for the user to confirm they've completed the setup URL step.

Step 2b — No-email path

Call:
CODEBLOCK5

No setup URL will be returned. Immediately proceed to payment.

Step 3 — Payment (both paths)

After the email-path user confirms they visited the setup URL (or immediately for no-email path):

CODEBLOCK6

x402 flow details:

1. 1. signup-usdc creates a USDC signup token via INLINECODE4
2. INLINECODE5 calls POST /api/v1/signup/:token/pay-usdc without a payment header → server returns 402 with payment requirements (network, amount, payTo address)
3. Use a wallet (Pinch, Coinbase CDP Agentic Wallet) to send USDC to the returned address
4. Retry with the payment proof: INLINECODE8
5. INLINECODE9 polls until complete and saves the API key

/botsee signup-pay-usdc --amount-cents N [--token TOKEN] [--payment PROOF]

CODEBLOCK7

Omit --payment to get a 402 challenge with network, amount, and payTo address.
Include --payment <base64-proof> on the final retry after your wallet has made the payment.

/botsee signup-status [--token TOKEN]

CODEBLOCK8

Saves API key to ~/.botsee/config.json automatically once signup is completed.

/botsee topup-usdc --amount-cents N [--payment PROOF]

CODEBLOCK9

Omit --payment to get a 402 challenge with network, amount, and payTo address.
Include --payment <base64-proof> on the final retry after your wallet has made the payment.

/botsee create-site [--types T] [--personas P] [--questions Q]

Requires: API key from INLINECODE17

CODEBLOCK10

Optional parameters:

• - --types (default: 2, range: 1-3)
• INLINECODE19 (default: 2, range: 1-3)
• INLINECODE20 (default: 5, range: 3-10)

What happens:

1. 1. Creates a site for the domain
2. Generates customer types, personas, and questions
3. Saves configuration to workspace and user config

CODEBLOCK41

Returns questions where the brand's mention rate is below the threshold, with per-provider breakdown showing which AI models missed the brand, what rank it appeared at (if at all), and the search keywords each provider used.

• - --threshold (0.0–1.0, default 1.0): questions where mention_rate < threshold qualify. At 1.0, any question not mentioned in every response is included.
• INLINECODE25 (integer): additionally flags questions where brand appeared but at rank worse than this value.

/botsee results-source-opportunities

CODEBLOCK42

Returns sources that AI cited in responses where the brand was NOT mentioned — ideal targets for content and link-building campaigns.

Getting the Analysis UUID:
The analysis UUID is displayed when you run /botsee analyze:

📊 Analysis started: abc-def-123

Agent Usage Notes

This skill is designed for non-interactive agent usage. All commands accept arguments via command-line flags - no prompts or user input required.

Key Considerations for Agents

1. Signup Flow Requires Human Intervention

For new users without an API key, the signup command creates a signup token and displays a URL:
CODEBLOCK44

Agents should:

• - Use the --api-key flag if API key is available
• Inform user if signup is needed (cannot be completed by agent)
• Consider API key as a prerequisite for autonomous operation

2. Async Operations with Polling

Two commands can involve waiting/polling:

• - /botsee signup-status (checks signup completion)
• INLINECODE29: up to 10 minute timeout

Commands will block until complete or timeout. No intermediate progress updates.

3. Analysis Discovery

To view detailed results after analysis:

1. 1. Run /botsee analyze and capture the analysis UUID from output
2. Use UUID with /botsee results-* commands

Recommended pattern:
CODEBLOCK45

4. Configuration Files

Two config files exist:

• - User config: ~/.botsee/config.json (API key + site UUID)
• Workspace config: .context/botsee-config.json (generation defaults, optional)

Agents can discover state via:

• - /botsee - Shows account status
• INLINECODE35 - Shows workspace config

5. Credit Costs

All operations that consume credits display remaining balance. Agents should:

• - Check balance before expensive operations (/botsee command)
• Handle "Insufficient credits" errors gracefully
• Monitor credit usage (shown after each operation)

Costs:

• - Setup (~75 credits with defaults 2/2/5)
• Analysis (~660 credits per run)
• Content generation (15 credits)

6. Error Handling

All errors exit with code 1 and print to stderr. Error messages include:

• - HTTP status codes (when relevant)
• Actionable next steps
• No API key leakage (sanitized)

7. Idempotency

• - Safe to retry: Status, list, get commands (read-only)
• Not idempotent: Create commands (will create duplicates)
• Updates: Require specific UUID, safe to retry

8. Output Format

• - CRUD operations: JSON output for parsing
• Workflow commands: Human-readable formatted text
• Status/balance: Always displayed at command completion
