Setup

On first use, read setup.md for integration guidelines.

When to Use

User needs website traffic data from Plausible. Agent queries visitors, pageviews, referrers, goals, and custom events through the Plausible API.

Architecture

Memory lives in ~/plausible/. See memory-template.md for structure.

~/plausible/
├── memory.md     # Sites + preferences (no secrets stored)
└── queries/      # Saved query templates (optional)

Quick Reference

Topic	File
Setup process	`setup.md`
Memory template	`memory-template.md`

Core Rules

1. API Key from Environment

API key comes from PLAUSIBLE_API_KEY environment variable. Never hardcode or ask user to paste keys in chat.

2. Site ID Required

Every query needs a site_id (domain). Check memory.md for configured sites before asking.

3. Time Periods

Default to 30d unless user specifies. Valid periods: day, 7d, 30d, month, 6mo, 12mo, custom (requires date/date_range).

4. Metrics Available

Metric	Description
`visitors`	Unique visitors
`visits`	Total sessions
`pageviews`	Total page views
`views_per_visit`	Pages per session
`bounce_rate`	Single-page visits %
`visit_duration`	Avg session length (seconds)
`events`	Custom event count
`conversion_rate`	Goal conversion % (requires goal filter)

5. Breakdown Dimensions

Dimension	Description
`event:page`	Pages
`event:name`	Custom events
`visit:source`	Traffic sources
`visit:referrer`	Full referrer URLs
`visit:utm_source`	UTM source
`visit:utm_medium`	UTM medium
`visit:utm_campaign`	UTM campaign
`visit:device`	Desktop/Mobile/Tablet
`visit:browser`	Browser name
`visit:os`	Operating system
`visit:country`	Country code
`visit:city`	City name

6. Filters Syntax

Filters use format: dimension==value or dimension!=value. Multiple filters with ; (AND).

visit:source==Google
event:page==/pricing;visit:country==US

7. Rate Limits

600 requests/hour per API key. Cache results in memory when doing multiple queries.

Common Traps

Forgetting site_id → API returns 400
Using wrong date format for custom range → use YYYY-MM-DD
Requesting conversion_rate without goal filter → returns null
Querying breakdown without metrics → defaults to visitors only

External Endpoints

Endpoint	Data Sent	Purpose
https://plausible.io/api/v1/stats/realtime/visitors	site_id	Realtime count
https://plausible.io/api/v1/stats/aggregate	site_id, metrics, period, filters	Aggregate stats
https://plausible.io/api/v1/stats/timeseries	site_id, metrics, period, interval	Time series
https://plausible.io/api/v1/stats/breakdown	site_id, property, metrics, filters	Breakdown by dimension

Self-hosted instances use custom base URL from memory.md.

No other data is sent externally.

Security & Privacy

Data that leaves your machine:

Site ID (domain) and query parameters sent to Plausible API
API key sent as Bearer token

Data that stays local:

Query results cached in memory
Site configurations in ~/plausible/

This skill does NOT:

Store API keys in plain text (uses environment variable)
Send user data beyond what's needed for queries
Access files outside ~/plausible/

Trust

By using this skill, your site analytics queries are sent to Plausible (plausible.io or your self-hosted instance). Only install if you trust Plausible with your domain data.
