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 |

| 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==US7. 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_ratewithout 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/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.
