Account Intel

account-intel

Entity-centric footprint & reputation intelligence. Point the skill at one specific person, brand, company, or handle and it gathers paid signal across X/Twitter, YouTube, web news/reputation, web citations, and any associated on-chain token — over three rails (x402 via Circle Gateway + MPP on Tempo + x402 on Base) — which the agent fuses into a single cross-platform footprint brief: who this account is, how present they are per platform, and how credible the web makes them look.

When To Use

Use when the value is profiling a single entity — the question is who is this account, how present and credible are they across platforms. Examples: "profile @OpenAI", "cross-platform footprint of ", "reputation brief on ", "where does show up and is it legit".

This is distinct from social-intel, which does topic/keyword listening — sentiment and chatter on a subject across a crowd. If the user asks "what are people saying about " or "social sentiment on ", use social-intel. If they name one account/brand/person and want that entity's footprint, use account-intel.

Rails

This skill spans three rails:

• x402 via Circle Gateway — Alchemy token-by-address serves a native x402 challenge — a Circle Gateway-batched nanopayment paid straight to the upstream on Base, bypassing the router. (SELAT-native X/Twitter is also x402 via Circle Gateway, but settles through the SELAT Router.)
• MPP on Tempo — Scrape Creators (YouTube, via mpp.orthogonal.com) and Brave news-search (via Locus) settle MPP through the SELAT Router.
• SELAT Router x402 — SELAT-native X/Twitter (catalog.selat.ai, x402 via Circle Gateway) and Exa web search (MPP on Tempo) settle through the SELAT Router.

The manifest's top-level rail is mixed. The selat CLI auto-detects each step's protocol at call time.

Workflow

1. Install: selat skill install account-intel
2. Run end-to-end: selat skill run account-intel --handle <handle> --name "<entity>" [--address <0x..>]
3. The CLI compiles each step into a selat-pay call and prints each result.

Recommended agent procedure (cheapest-first; stop early when the footprint is already conclusive):

1. X/Twitter profile — SELAT-native GET /twitter/user/info (x402 on Base, ~$0.001) for follower counts, bio, verification.
2. On-chain token footprint — Alchemy GET /data/v1/assets/tokens/by-address (x402 via Circle Gateway, ~$0.001). Only meaningful if the entity has an associated token; pass --address. Skip/ignore if the entity is purely off-chain.
3. YouTube presence — Scrape Creators GET /v1/youtube/search (MPP on Tempo, ~$0.021) for whether/where the entity shows up on YouTube.
4. X/Twitter recent tweets — SELAT-native GET /twitter/user/last_tweets (x402 on Base, ~$0.001); read cadence + engagement, surface the breakout post.
5. Web citations — Exa POST /search (x402 on Base, ~$0.007). Grounds the entity in indexed web sources for corroboration.
6. Web reputation / news — Brave POST /brave/news-search (MPP on Tempo, ~$0.0368); recent press, controversy, sentiment signal.

Then synthesize: a per-platform presence map (X, YouTube, web, on-chain), a credibility/reputation read, the entity's strongest channel, and where the web context confirms or contradicts the self-presentation — with source URLs.

Inputs And Outputs

Output: per-step JSON (X profile + recent tweets with engagement, YouTube search hits, Brave news results, Exa web results with text snippets + URLs, and Alchemy token metadata) that the agent fuses into a single entity footprint & reputation brief.

Gotchas

• Entity-centric, not topic-centric. This skill profiles one account/brand. For topic/keyword sentiment listening across a crowd, use social-intel.
• Router dependency. Alchemy settles x402 via Circle Gateway straight to the upstream on Base (router bypassed). SELAT-native X/Twitter settles x402 via Circle Gateway but through the SELAT Router; Scrape Creators (YouTube), Exa, and Brave settle MPP on Tempo via the router — so a reachable SELAT_ROUTER_URL is required for those five SELAT Router steps, but not for Alchemy.
• The social rails. The YouTube step pays Scrape Creators (mpp.orthogonal.com) via MPP on Tempo through the SELAT Router; the X/Twitter steps pay SELAT-native (catalog.selat.ai) through the SELAT Router.
• The on-chain step is optional context. It's only useful when the entity has an associated token; pass a real --address. The zero-address default just lets verify exercise the step.
• GET params in the query, POST params in body. SELAT-native + Scrape Creators + Alchemy are GET (?userName=/?query=/?address=); Brave + Exa are POST (q/query in the body).
• maxAmount is a guardrail, not the price. Per-step caps are $0.05 (Brave $0.06, Alchemy $0.02) against live quotes (probe-verified 2026-07-25): SELAT-native X profile ~$0.001, Alchemy ~$0.001, Scrape Creators YouTube ~$0.021, SELAT-native recent tweets ~$0.001, Exa ~$0.007, Brave ~$0.0368; the full-run cap is $0.50.
• The live 402 is the source of truth. If a step stops serving a challenge, selat skill verify flags it — omit it and re-add when the gateway serves it.

Validation

--chain base in the probe commands below is only the flag selat-pay requires today — a probe reads a free, chain-independent quote and never settles. A real paid run resolves the settlement chain from your funded Circle Gateway balance, not the manifest.

• Static: selat skill validate ./skills/account-intel
• Live gate (free): selat skill verify ./skills/account-intel --handle OpenAI --name "OpenAI"
• Paid confirm (settles real 200s): add --pay to the verify command.
• Single-step probe (no pay): selat-pay GET "https://catalog.selat.ai/twitter/user/info?userName=OpenAI" --chain base --probe-only selat-pay GET "https://x402.alchemy.com/data/v1/assets/tokens/by-address?address=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000" --chain base --probe-only
