Introduction
Botdocs is a registry for agent skills, prompts, and related configuration files. It lets people author a skill once and distribute it across the agent ecosystems they use — Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, and others. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Botdocs website, CLI, and API (collectively, the “Service”), operated by Botdocs.
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
Botdocs is currently in invitation-only public preview. Access is gated by a waitlist; features may change materially or be removed without notice during preview; and we may suspend accounts that abuse the preview-grade rate limits without prior warning. The non-preview commitments below — content ownership, takedown procedure, your statutory rights — apply in full from day one.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Distribute malware, exploits, or content designed to harm users, their machines, or third-party systems.
- Harass, threaten, defame, or impersonate any person or organization.
- Scrape, crawl, or otherwise harvest data from the registry beyond the published rate limits, or in a way that degrades Service availability for others.
- Circumvent authentication, rate limits, billing, or any access controls.
- Publish content you don't have the right to distribute, or content that infringes intellectual-property or privacy rights.
- Violate any applicable law or regulation in the course of using the Service.
Because skills published to Botdocs are instructions that other people's AI agents will execute, the following are specifically prohibited:
- Skills designed to exfiltrate the installer's files, conversation history, credentials, or environment variables to a third party.
- Skills that attempt to manipulate other agents' tool use — prompt-injection payloads, jailbreaks targeting specific models, or instructions intended to override the host platform's safety policies.
- Skills that target specific individuals or groups for harassment, doxxing, or coordinated manipulation.
- Skills that facilitate the creation of CSAM, weapons of mass destruction, attacks on critical infrastructure, or other content prohibited by the host agent platforms' usage policies.
- Skills that game the registry — fake install counts, sockpuppet accounts, manipulated trending placements, or similar.
We don't pre-review every skill, but we do remove material that violates this section when we're notified or when our automated checks flag it. Repeat violations terminate the account.
Your account
You are responsible for everything that happens under your account, including the API tokens you generate. Keep your password and tokens secret. If a token is exposed, revoke it immediately from /settings/tokens. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us at the support address below.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you're using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
Content you publish
You retain ownership of the skills, prompts, documentation, and other content you publish to Botdocs (“Your Content”). By publishing Your Content, you grant Botdocs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute Your Content through the registry — over the website, CLI, API, and any other channel necessary to operate the Service.
This license lasts only as long as Your Content is published on the Service. You can unpublish or delete any of your skills at any time, and you can delete your entire account from /settings/account. When you delete Your Content, the license ends, subject only to backups and aggregated metadata retained for security and fraud prevention.
You are solely responsible for Your Content and for the consequences of publishing it.
Per-skill license is separate. The license you grant Botdocs to host and distribute Your Content is independent of the open-source or other license you declare on each skill (MIT, CC BY 4.0, CC BY-SA 4.0, CC0, All Rights Reserved). Other users install Your Content under the terms of your declared per-skill license — not under these Terms. Pick a license thoughtfully; it's what installers actually rely on.
Third-party agent platforms
Skills you install via the Botdocs CLI execute inside a third-party agent — Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, or another host you choose. Botdocs distributes the configuration files; we do not run them and we are not party to the agent's behavior once a skill is installed. Each host platform has its own terms of service and usage policy that apply to how you use the skill there. By installing a skill you agree that:
- You will comply with the host platform's own terms and usage policies — we don't replace, override, or warrant anything about them.
- Botdocs is not responsible for actions an agent takes after being configured with a skill installed from the registry.
- If a skill misbehaves on a host platform, your remedy is against the skill author and the host platform — not against Botdocs.
CLI and API telemetry
The Botdocs CLI and API send a small amount of operational data to the Service: authenticated request metadata, install and sync references (which skills you have, at what version — never file contents), and crash diagnostics if a command fails. This is the data the Service needs to function (auth, sync, install counts) — not behavioral tracking. The Privacy Policy enumerates exactly what each command sends.
Takedowns
If you believe content on Botdocs infringes your copyright, send a written notice to support@botdocs.ai that includes:
- The copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
- The URL of the allegedly infringing material on Botdocs.
- Your contact information.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized, and that the information in your notice is accurate.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
We may remove or disable access to material identified in a valid notice and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers.
Disclaimers
Skills on Botdocs are user-generated. We don't audit, endorse, or guarantee the safety, accuracy, or fitness of any skill, and we don't run the skills you install — that happens locally inside your agent. Review what you install before running it.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Botdocs is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the Service.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Botdocs harmless from any claim or demand — including reasonable attorneys' fees — arising out of (a) Your Content; (b) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. We'll notify you promptly of any such claim and cooperate in your defense, and you won't settle a claim affecting Botdocs without our written consent.
Termination
You can delete your account at any time from /settings/account. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms, if we're required to by law, or if we reasonably believe your account presents a security risk to other users or the Service.
Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including content licensing for material you published while active, disclaimers, and limitation of liability — will survive.
Billing
Botdocs is free during public preview. We'll introduce paid plans for teams and higher-volume usage later; when we do, we'll publish specific pricing, refund, and tax terms here with at least 30 days' notice before any account is charged. No card on file means no surprise charges.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware for any dispute arising from or related to these Terms or the Service.
Disputes
We don't require binding arbitration and we don't ask you to waive your right to participate in a class action. That's deliberate — those clauses make sense for some businesses and not for this one. Disputes go to the courts named in the Governing law section above.
Before anything ends up in court, please email support@botdocs.ai and give us 30 days to try to resolve the issue directly. Most things settle there.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we'll notify account holders by email at least seven days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
