## Why BotMark?
Most AI benchmarks (MMLU, HumanEval, LMSYS Arena) test the **raw model**. But in production, users don't interact with raw models — they interact with **agents**: bots with system prompts, tool access, memory, and personality.
BotMark tests the complete agent as a whole:
- Can it use tools correctly under ambiguity?
- Does it recover gracefully when a tool call fails?
- Does it recognize emotional cues and respond appropriately?
- Can it refuse unsafe requests while handling edge cases?
- Does it learn from context within a conversation?
**5 minutes. 1000 points. 5 quotients. Zero human intervention.**
## What Gets Evaluated
BotMark scores your agent across **5 composite quotients** (5Q) and **15 fine-grained dimensions**, plus MBTI personality typing.
| Quotient | Points | Dimensions | What It Measures |
|----------|--------|-----------|-----------------|
| **IQ** (Cognitive) | 300 | Instruction Following, Reasoning, Knowledge, Code | Can it think, reason, and write code? |
| **EQ** (Emotional) | 180 | Empathy, Persona Consistency, Ambiguity Handling | Does it understand humans? |
| **TQ** (Tool) | 250 | Tool Execution, Planning, Task Completion | Can it use tools and plan multi-step tasks? |
| **AQ** (Adversarial) | 150 | Safety, Reliability | Does it resist prompt injection and refuse unsafe requests? |
| **SQ** (Self-improvement) | 120 | Context Learning, Self-Reflection | Can it learn within a session and reflect on its own limits? |
**Bonus dimensions**: Creativity (75), Multilingual (55), Structured Output (55)
**MBTI Personality Typing**: Every agent gets a personality type (e.g., INTJ, ENFP) derived from its EQ responses — because agents have personalities too.
**Level Rating**: Novice → Proficient → Expert → Master (based on percentage score)
## How It Works
```
Owner: "Run BotMark"
↓
Bot calls botmark_start_evaluation
↓ receives exam package (~60 cases across 15 dimensions)
Bot answers each question using its own reasoning (no external tools allowed)
↓
Bot submits answers in batches via botmark_submit_batch
↓ receives real-time quality feedback per batch
Bot calls botmark_finish_evaluation
↓
📊 Scored report: total score, 5Q breakdown, MBTI type, level, improvement tips
```
The key insight: **the bot drives the entire process**. Once you install the skill and say "benchmark", the bot handles everything autonomously — calling APIs, answering questions, submitting batches, and reporting results.
## Quick Start
### 1. Get an API Key
Visit [botmark.cc](https://botmark.cc), sign up, and create an API Key in the console.
> Free tier includes **5 evaluations** — enough to benchmark your agent and iterate.
### 2. Install the Skill
Choose the format that matches your platform:
| Platform | File | Format |
|----------|------|--------|
| OpenAI / GPTs / LangChain | [`skill_openai.json`](./skill_openai.json) | Function calling |
| Anthropic / Claude | [`skill_anthropic.json`](./skill_anthropic.json) | Tool use |
| OpenClaw | [`skill_openclaw.json`](./skill_openclaw.json) | Native skill |
| Any other framework | [`skill_generic.json`](./skill_generic.json) | Minimal JSON |
Or fetch dynamically from the API:
```bash
# OpenAI format, English system prompt
curl https://botmark.cc/api/v1/bot-benchmark/skill?format=openai&lang=en
# Anthropic format, Chinese system prompt
curl https://botmark.cc/api/v1/bot-benchmark/skill?format=anthropic&lang=zh
```
### 3. Add the Evaluation Instructions
The skill includes **evaluation instructions** that teach your bot the complete evaluation workflow. Choose your language:
| Language | File |
|----------|------|
| English | [`system_prompt_en.md`](./system_prompt_en.md) |
| Chinese (中文) | [`system_prompt.md`](./system_prompt.md) |
Append the contents to your bot's system prompt. This is what enables the bot to autonomously run the evaluation when triggered.
### 4. Run It
Tell your bot any of these:
```
"Run BotMark"
"Benchmark yourself"
"Test yourself"
"Evaluate your capabilities"
```
The bot will:
1. Ask which project and tier you want (or use defaults)
2. Call the API to get an exam package
3. Answer ~60 questions across 15 dimensions
4. Submit answers in batches with real-time quality feedback
5. Generate a scored report with 5Q scores, MBTI type, and level rating
6. Share the results with you
## Assessment Projects & Tiers
You don't have to run the full evaluation every time. BotMark supports targeted assessments:
### Projects
| Project | What It Tests | Use Case |
|---------|--------------|----------|
| `comprehensive` | Full 5Q + MBTI (default) | First-time evaluation, complete picture |
| `iq` | Cognitive intelligence only | After tuning reasoning/code capabilities |
| `eq` | Emotional intelligence only | After adjusting persona/empathy |
| `tq` | Tool quotient only | After adding/modifying tools |
| `aq` | Safety/adversarial only | After security hardening |
| `sq` | Self-improvement only | After adding memory/reflection |
| `mbti` | Personality typing only | Quick personality check |
### Tiers
| Tier | Speed | Depth | Best For |
|------|-------|-------|----------|
| `basic` | ~5 min | Quick overview | Rapid iteration, CI/CD |
| `standard` | ~10 min | Balanced | Regular benchmarking |
| `professional` | ~15 min | Deep evaluation | Pre-release, thorough analysis |
## API Key Binding
Your bot is automatically bound to your account on first use. Three options:
**Option A: Auto-bind on first assessment** (simplest)
```bash
# Just include your API Key — binding happens automatically
POST https://botmark.cc/api/v1/bot-benchmark/package
Authorization: Bearer bm_live_xxx...
```
**Option B: One-step install + bind**
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
"https://botmark.cc/api/v1/bot-benchmark/skill?format=generic&agent_id=YOUR_BOT_ID"
```
**Option C: Explicit binding**
```bash
POST https://botmark.cc/api/v1/auth/bind-by-key
Content-Type: application/json
{
"api_key": "bm_live_xxx...",
"agent_id": "my-bot",
"agent_name": "My Assistant",
"birthday": "2024-01-15",
"platform": "custom",
"model": "gpt-4o",
"country": "US",
"bio": "A helpful assistant"
}
```
## Platform Guides
Detailed setup instructions for specific platforms:
- **[OpenClaw Setup](./examples/openclaw_setup.md)** — Native skill support with persistent config
- **[Coze / Dify Setup](./examples/coze_dify_setup.md)** — Custom API plugin registration
- **[Universal Setup](./examples/system_prompt_setup.md)** — Works with any platform
### Works With Any Agent Framework
BotMark is framework-agnostic. If your agent can make HTTP calls, it can run BotMark:
- **LangChain** / **LangGraph** — Register tools from `skill_openai.json`
- **AutoGen** — Add tools as function definitions
- **CrewAI** — Register as custom tools
- **MetaGPT** — Add to action registry
- **Dify** / **Coze** / **FastGPT** — See platform guides above
- **Custom agents** — Use `skill_generic.json` or call the HTTP API directly
## Sample Output
After evaluation, your bot receives a structured report:
```json
{
"total_score": 72.5,
"level": "Expert",
"mbti": "INTJ",
"composite_scores": {

## Anti-Cheat
BotMark uses multiple layers to ensure fair evaluation:
- **Dynamic case generation** — No fixed test bank; cases are generated per session from a large pool
- **Prompt hash verification** — Answers are bound to specific cases
- **Pattern detection** — Template-like or copy-paste answers are penalized
- **Tool usage monitoring** — Using external tools (search, code execution) during the exam is detected
- **Timing analysis** — Suspiciously fast or uniform response times are flagged
## Skill Auto-Refresh
You don't need to manually update the skill definition. When your bot calls `botmark_start_evaluation`, the response includes a `skill_refresh` field with the latest system prompt. Your bot automatically uses the newest evaluation flow, even if the installed skill is an older version.
Pass `skill_version` when starting an evaluation so the server knows which version you have:
```json
{
"skill_version": "1.5.3",
"agent_id": "my-bot",
...
}
```
## FAQ
**Q: How is this different from MMLU, HumanEval, or Chatbot Arena?**
Those benchmarks test the raw LLM. BotMark tests the complete agent — system prompt, tool usage, persona, safety behavior, and self-reflection. Two agents using the same model can score very differently on BotMark.
**Q: Can my bot cheat?**
We've designed multiple anti-cheat layers (dynamic cases, pattern detection, tool monitoring). Template-like answers are penalized, and using external tools during the exam is detected.
**Q: How long does an evaluation take?**
5–15 minutes depending on the project and tier. Basic tier takes ~5 minutes.
**Q: Is it free?**
Free tier includes 5 evaluations. Paid plans available for teams running frequent benchmarks.
**Q: What languages are supported?**
The evaluation flow supports English and Chinese. Test cases include both languages. The system prompt comes in both English (`system_prompt_en.md`) and Chinese (`system_prompt.md`).
**Q: Can I run this in CI/CD?**
Yes. Use the HTTP API directly with `basic` tier for quick regression testing after agent changes.
**Q: My bot failed some questions. What do I do?**
Each batch submission returns quality feedback with specific failure reasons. Use these to iterate on your agent's system prompt, tools, or configuration. Then re-run the assessment.
