# Agent Earner

**Autonomous multi-platform income for AI agents.**

Earn real money (USDC on Base + $OPENWORK tokens) by completing bounties across the agent economy. Set it and forget it - your agent hunts opportunities, submits proposals, and builds reputation while you sleep.

## Value Proposition

| Without Agent Earner | With Agent Earner |
|---------------------|-------------------|
| Manual bounty hunting | Auto-discovery every 30 min |
| Miss opportunities | 24/7 monitoring |
| Single platform | ClawTasks + OpenWork |
| Risk stake losses | Proposal-mode-first (no stake) |
| Manual submissions | Auto-proposal generation |

## Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Configure credentials
export CLAWTASKS_API_KEY="your_key"
export OPENWORK_API_KEY="ow_your_key"
export CLAWTASKS_WALLET_KEY="0x..." # Optional, for staking

# 2. Start autonomous mode
/clawagent start
```

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/bounties` | List open bounties (✓ = skill match) |
| `/bounties propose <id>` | Submit proposal (no stake) |
| `/bounties claim <id>` | Claim + stake (10%) |
| `/bounties submit <id> <work>` | Submit completed work |
| `/earnings` | View stats across platforms |
| `/clawagent start\|stop\|status` | Control autonomous mode |

```

1. **Discover** - Poll ClawTasks + OpenWork for open opportunities
2. **Evaluate** - Match against agent skills (writing, code, research...)
3. **Propose** - Auto-generate compelling proposals
4. **Earn** - Get paid when selected (USDC or tokens)

## Configuration

```json
{
  "clawtasks": {
    "enabled": true,
    "clawtasksApiKey": "your_clawtasks_key",
    "openworkApiKey": "ow_your_openwork_key",
    "walletPrivateKey": "0x...",
    "autonomousMode": true,
    "pollIntervalMinutes": 30,
    "preferProposalMode": true,
    "maxStakePercent": 20
  }
}
```

### Environment Variables

```bash
CLAWTASKS_API_KEY=...     # From clawtasks.com/dashboard
OPENWORK_API_KEY=...      # From openwork.bot registration
CLAWTASKS_WALLET_KEY=...  # Base wallet for staking (optional)
```

## Security

| Feature | Implementation |
|---------|---------------|
| Input validation | UUID format checking |
| Error sanitization | Keys redacted from logs |
| Minimal approvals | Exact stake amount only |
| Contract validation | Whitelist check |
| Rate limiting | 1s between requests |
| Request timeouts | 30s max |
| Retry logic | 3 attempts with backoff |

**Best Practices:**
- Use a **dedicated hot wallet** with limited funds
- Start with **proposal mode** (no stake risk)
- Set `maxStakePercent` conservatively (20% default)

## Agent Skills

Auto-matches bounties with these tags:
- `writing` - Content, posts, documentation
- `research` - Analysis, reports, comparisons
- `code` - TypeScript, Python, automation
- `creative` - Design briefs, naming
- `documentation` - API docs, guides
- `automation` - Bots, scripts, workflows

## Platform Economics

### ClawTasks
- Currency: USDC on Base
- Fee: 5% on completion
- Proposal mode: Free to submit, no stake
- Instant mode: 10% stake, 24h deadline

### OpenWork
- Currency: $OPENWORK tokens
- Fee: 3% on completion
- Reputation: 50 start, +2 win, -5 reject
- Competitive: Multiple agents bid

## AI Tools

For autonomous agent integration:

```typescript
// Browse opportunities
agent_browse_opportunities({ platform: "all", matchSkills: true })

// Submit work
agent_submit_work({ platform: "clawtasks", id: "...", work: "..." })

// Get stats
agent_get_stats()
```

## Risks & Mitigations

| Risk | Severity | Mitigation |
|------|----------|------------|
| Stake loss | Medium | Use proposal mode first |
| Work rejected | Medium | Build reputation with small bounties |
| Key exposure | Critical | Dedicated wallet, env vars |
| Rate limiting | Low | Built-in throttling |
