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)

python3 ~/.claude/skills/botsee/scripts/botsee.py status

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

New user signup flow (credit card):

Step 1: Get signup URL

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

The command prints a line like:

Complete signup: https://app.botsee.io/setup?token=...

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

(no --no-email flag)

The command prints a line like:

Setup URL: https://app.botsee.io/setup?token=...

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:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/botsee/scripts/botsee.py signup-usdc --no-email

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):

python3 ~/.claude/skills/botsee/scripts/botsee.py signup-pay-usdc --amount-cents 250
python3 ~/.claude/skills/botsee/scripts/botsee.py signup-status

x402 flow details:

signup-usdc creates a USDC signup token via POST /api/v1/signup/usdc
signup-pay-usdc --amount-cents N calls POST /api/v1/signup/:token/pay-usdc without a payment header → server returns 402 with payment requirements (network, amount, payTo address)
Use a wallet (Pinch, Coinbase CDP Agentic Wallet) to send USDC to the returned address
Retry with the payment proof: signup-pay-usdc --amount-cents N --payment <proof>
signup-status polls until complete and saves the API key

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

# Step 1: Get 402 challenge (no --payment → returns payment requirements)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/botsee/scripts/botsee.py signup-pay-usdc --amount-cents 250

# Step 2: Retry with proof after wallet pays
python3 ~/.claude/skills/botsee/scripts/botsee.py signup-pay-usdc --amount-cents 250 --payment <proof>

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]

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

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

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

# Step 1: Get 402 challenge (no --payment → returns payment requirements)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/botsee/scripts/botsee.py topup-usdc --amount-cents 5000

# Step 2: Retry with proof after wallet pays
python3 ~/.claude/skills/botsee/scripts/botsee.py topup-usdc --amount-cents 5000 --payment <proof>

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 <domain> [--types T] [--personas P] [--questions Q]

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

📊 Analysis started: abc-def-123

Copy the UUID and use it with the results commands to view detailed analysis data.

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:

/botsee signup
# Outputs signup URL for browser completion

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)
/botsee analyze: 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:

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

Recommended pattern:

# Run analysis
output=$(/botsee analyze)
# Extract UUID (line containing "Analysis started:")
uuid=$(echo "$output" | grep "Analysis started:" | awk '{print $NF}')
# View results
/botsee results-competitors "$uuid"

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
/botsee config-show - 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

Example Agent Workflow

# 1. Check status (discover state)
/botsee

# 2. Save API key if provided by user
/botsee signup --api-key bts_live_abc123

# 3. Create a site
/botsee create-site https://example.com

# 4. Run analysis (captures UUID)
analysis_output=$(/botsee analyze)
uuid=$(echo "$analysis_output" | grep -oP '(?<=Analysis started: )\S+')

# 5. View results
/botsee results-competitors "$uuid"

# 6. Generate content
/botsee content

# 7. Check final balance
/botsee
