export TWOCAPTCHA_API_KEY="your-key"
```
Get your API key at https://2captcha.com/enterpage
## Quick Reference
### Check Balance First
```bash
./solve-captcha balance
```
### Image CAPTCHA
```bash
# From file
./solve-captcha image /path/to/captcha.png
# From URL
./solve-captcha image "https://site.com/captcha.jpg"
# With options
./solve-captcha image captcha.png --numeric 1 --math
./solve-captcha image captcha.png --comment "Enter red letters only"
```
### reCAPTCHA v2
```bash
./solve-captcha recaptcha2 --sitekey "6Le-wvk..." --url "https://example.com"
```
### reCAPTCHA v3
```bash
./solve-captcha recaptcha3 --sitekey "KEY" --url "URL" --action "submit" --min-score 0.7
```
### hCaptcha
```bash
./solve-captcha hcaptcha --sitekey "KEY" --url "URL"
```
### Cloudflare Turnstile
```bash
./solve-captcha turnstile --sitekey "0x4AAA..." --url "URL"
```
### FunCaptcha (Arkose)
```bash
./solve-captcha funcaptcha --public-key "KEY" --url "URL"
```
### GeeTest
```bash
# v3
./solve-captcha geetest --gt "GT" --challenge "CHALLENGE" --url "URL"
# v4
./solve-captcha geetest4 --captcha-id "ID" --url "URL"
```
### Text Question
```bash
./solve-captcha text "What color is the sky?" --lang en
```
## Finding CAPTCHA Parameters
### reCAPTCHA sitekey
Look for:
- `data-sitekey` attribute in HTML
- `k=` parameter in reCAPTCHA iframe URL
- Network request to `google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor`
### hCaptcha sitekey
Look for:
- `data-sitekey` in hCaptcha div
- Network requests to `hcaptcha.com`
### Turnstile sitekey
Look for:
- `data-sitekey` in Turnstile widget
- `cf-turnstile` class elements
## Workflow for Browser Automation
1. **Detect CAPTCHA** - Check if page has captcha element
2. **Extract params** - Get sitekey/challenge from page source
3. **Solve via CLI** - Call solve-captcha with params
4. **Inject token** - Set `g-recaptcha-response` or callback
### Example: Inject reCAPTCHA Token
```javascript
// After getting token from solve-captcha
document.getElementById('g-recaptcha-response').value = token;
// Or call callback if defined
___grecaptcha_cfg.clients[0].callback(token);
```
## Cost Awareness
- Check balance before heavy automation
- Image: ~$0.001 per solve
- reCAPTCHA/hCaptcha/Turnstile: ~$0.003 per solve
## Error Handling
Common errors:
- `ERROR_ZERO_BALANCE` - Top up account
- `ERROR_NO_SLOT_AVAILABLE` - Retry in few seconds
- `ERROR_CAPTCHA_UNSOLVABLE` - Bad image or impossible captcha
- `ERROR_WRONG_CAPTCHA_ID` - Invalid task ID
## Notes
- Solving takes 10-60 seconds depending on type
- reCAPTCHA v3 may need multiple attempts for high scores
- Some sites detect automation - use carefully
- Tokens expire! Use within 2-5 minutesRelated Skills

agent-autonomy-kit
Stop waiting for prompts. Keep working.
Meeting Prep
Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.
self-improvement
Captures learnings, errors, and corrections to enable continuous improvement. Use when: (1) A command or operation fails unexpectedly, (2) User corrects Claude ('No, that's wrong...', 'Actually...'), (3) User requests a capability that doesn't exist, (4) An external API or tool fails, (5) Claude realizes its knowledge is outdated or incorrect, (6) A better approach is discovered for a recurring task. Also review learnings before major tasks.
