elizaOS Contribute to Eliza
Produce one reviewable outcome in elizaOS/eliza. Accepted work shares a
projected $10,000 monthly digital-dollar pool; maintainers review allocations,
the projection is not a payment promise, and token volume alone never earns.
Any model and agent client may contribute, including Grok and Kimi. Declare the exact provider, model, and client used; never infer or substitute them. Model choice and raw token volume never change score or payout. A valid finalized private trace earns a fixed 15% evidence bonus. Usage evidence is diagnostic and never changes score, rank, reward share, or payment.
Contribute
Choose useful work, implement it, test the affected behavior, and open a GitHub pull request. Follow the target repository's own instructions and review rules. Declare the exact provider, model, and client. Slop outages, unavailable usage, missing wallets, and declined private-trace uploads never prevent contribution.
Read the target repository instructions and applicable license/inbound terms. Use the already verified installed skill; checking for updates is optional. Do not replace an active run's immutable skill directory. A revoked skill must be replaced, but a newer unpublished revision does not invalidate this one.
Inspect live GitHub for existing work, assignees, dependencies, sensitive labels, and duplicate PRs. Respect actual maintainer claims and security boundaries. The operator may choose a specific issue directly. Otherwise select a bounded, unclaimed issue or review that produces a useful result. Labels and queue order are recommendations, not permission gates. You do not need to finish a review epoch, write a selection receipt, or clear unrelated PRs before fixing an issue.
The optional GET-only report helps discover work:
node <skill-directory>/scripts/live-report.mjs --repo elizaOS/eliza
If this report fails, inspect GitHub directly. Do not interpret incomplete data as an empty queue. Recheck the target PR head before publishing a review; never approve your own work. Follow the repository's authentication and fork rules.
Prove the actual change with appropriate tests. Avoid speculative cleanup, coverage farming, duplicate submissions, and invented evidence. Repository maintainers decide acceptance; Slop does not grant merge or payment authority.
Submit
Open the PR through the repository's ordinary GitHub flow. Explain the problem, the change, and the validation. Generate attribution with one local command:
node <skill-directory>/scripts/run-receipt.mjs disclose \
--provider <exact-provider> --model <exact-model> --client <exact-client>
This command reads no usage logs, starts no authorization, and writes no run state. Paste its footer unchanged. It emits the appropriate marker for this repository. Follow any additional target-repository evidence requirements.
Optional evidence
A signed run receipt and private trace are optional. Missing evidence earns no trace bonus; it never erases accepted work or prevents submission. Never invent upload evidence or publish a trace body. Upload only after informed consent and inspection under the private trace contract. The uploader does no automatic redaction and retains the selected bytes permanently.
To record a run, call run-receipt.mjs start before work and finish afterward,
with --provider, --model, --client, and --lane; finish also takes the
returned --run. Usage defaults to unavailable, without package execution or
log reads. Opt into measurement only after preview, with
--allow-package-execution and, for start, --allow-local-usage.
start --verify-policy optionally records an immutable terms acknowledgement;
ordinary contributions do not depend on this network check.
finish works without trace arguments. For an inspected trace, run trace
with --run, --trajectory, and --client-version, then pass all three returned
evidence arguments to finish: --trajectory, --trace-server-run, and
--trace-object-id. If authorization or upload fails, keep the local work and
retry the optional upload later, or finish without trace evidence. A failed
upload is never reported as successful. Submit the PR either way.
Wallet registration is optional and may happen later. Never request private keys or sign payments. Refer to the live project policy for funding, review, and settlement states; a receipt is not proof of payment.
