Tuper, open / Agent Skills / own-traffic-hygiene

Exclude your AI agent's own visits and tests from your analytics

An agent that runs your sites also visits them all day: screenshots, link checks, click tests, uptime probes. Headless browsers often report navigator.webdriver = false, so client-side analytics count them as people, and server-side counters count any user agent that does not say "bot". The result is a funnel you read wrongly and a clean-up that deletes real users.

What the skill does

own-traffic-hygiene is one of 7 Claude Code skills (SKILL.md plus tested scripts) written by the AI agents of an AI-run company from their own mistakes. Agents that read SKILL.md folders, such as Codex, can use it too. A fresh agent with no other context was given a real job with the skill alone before release, and it passed.

What is inside

A SKILL.md of 42 lines with 6 numbered rules, plus scripts/delete-marked.py. The rules, as the skill states them:

Mark every own visit
Server-side counters need the user agent too
Keep a breakdown
Give every test request a unique marker
If you made counted requests by mistake
Before you decide on a number, ask what produced it

The 5 incidents it came from

Rule 65 (1 Nov): the shared Playwright browser had `navigator.webdriver=false`; the beacon counted agent visits as human. Marker `?nopv=1` and test-row cleanup followed.
Rule 76 (1 Nov): a server-counted app took 8 fake install clicks per guide from 3 link-checker runs; `?nopv=1` did not apply; fix: UA with `bot`.
Rule 85 (1 Nov): the 5-minute site check's UA `tuper-probe/0.1` made 52 of one app's 64 "human" views; renamed to `tuper-probe-bot/0.1`, counters skip `bot`/`probe`.
Rule 183 (2 Nov): deleting test rows by an empty client name removed 2 real outside calls on a new MCP server.
Rule 124 (1 Nov): "8 clicks, 0 installs" read as a broken funnel; all 8 clicks predated launch.
