Listing Swarm 🐝

A Clawdbot skill to list your AI product on 70+ AI directories.

Your agent does the submissions. You bring your captcha API key. Human assists when stuck.

🔒 Security Model: BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)

This skill contains ZERO credentials. All API keys and passwords are provided by YOU at runtime via environment variables. Nothing is stored, logged, or transmitted to LinkSwarm.

What	Security
Captcha API	✅ Your key, your account, your billing
Email/IMAP	✅ Your credentials, optional, never stored
Data flow	✅ Your product info → directory forms (that's it)
Source code	✅ Fully readable, no obfuscation

See SECURITY.md for complete security documentation.

What It Does

Automates submitting your AI tool to directories like:

There's An AI For That
Futurepedia
OpenTools
TopAI.tools
AI Tool Guru
65+ more

Setup

1. Get Your Own Captcha Solver API Key (Required)

⚠️ You must get your own API key. The skill does not include one.

Go to 2Captcha.com (recommended)
Create an account
Add funds (~$3 covers 1000 captchas, enough for all 70 directories)
Copy your API key from the dashboard

Then add to your environment:

bash

export CAPTCHA_API_KEY="your-own-2captcha-key"
export CAPTCHA_SERVICE="2captcha"

Alternative services (same process):

No API key? The agent will flag each captcha for you to solve manually.

2. Email Access for Auto-Verification (Optional)

Most directories send verification emails. Your agent can handle these automatically if you provide IMAP access.

Recommended: Create a dedicated email for submissions:

text

yourproduct.listings@gmail.com

For Gmail:

Create the email account (or use existing)
Enable 2-Factor Auth: Google Account → Security → 2-Step Verification
Create App Password: Google Account → Security → App passwords → Generate
Copy the 16-character password

Set environment variables:

bash

export IMAP_USER="yourproduct.listings@gmail.com"
export IMAP_PASSWORD="xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx"  # app password, not your real password
export IMAP_HOST="imap.gmail.com"

No email access? Agent will flag you: "Check your email for verification link from Futurepedia"

3. Your Product Info

Create a product config the agent can reference:

json

{
  "name": "Your Product Name",
  "url": "https://yourproduct.ai",
  "tagline": "One line description (60 chars)",
  "description": "Full description for directory listings...",
  "category": "AI Writing Tool",
  "pricing": "Freemium",
  "logo_url": "https://yourproduct.ai/logo.png",
  "screenshot_url": "https://yourproduct.ai/screenshot.png",
  "email": "hello@yourproduct.ai"
}

Usage

Tell your Clawdbot agent:

"Use the listing-swarm skill to submit my product to AI directories. My product info is in product.json. My 2captcha key is in the environment."

The agent will:

Load the directory list
Visit each directory's submit page
Fill out the form with your product info
Solve captchas using your API key
Flag you if it gets stuck (needs login, payment, etc.)
Track what's submitted

Human-in-the-Loop

When the agent hits something it can't handle:

"Hey, this directory needs you to create an account first"
"This one requires payment for listing"
"Captcha failed 3 times, can you solve this one?"

You solve it, tell the agent to continue.
