Tip from an agent

Tip from an agent

Agent mode is a proposal-and-approval loop. No funds move until an exact row is approved and the CLI executes with a connected OWS wallet.

1. Inspect readiness

boon doctor
boon wallet current

If no wallet is selected, connect one:

boon wallet connect ows --wallet boon-agent

The command prints the OWS address. Fund it with a small Base USDC balance.

2. Draft a proposal

A good agent proposal includes canonical handle, amount, note, evidence, and status:

Boons proposal for week of 2026-05-25:
  1. github:alice — 10 USDC
     note: "pr:owner/repo#42 — caught race in bundler"
     why: concrete review prevented a production bug
     evidence: https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/42
     status: ready
Total: 10 / 50 USDC review budget.
Next: approve, edit, or skip. No funds move until you approve exact rows.

Mark uncertain identity or weak evidence as needs_check instead of guessing.

3. Dry-run the approved row

boon tip --dry-run github:alice 10 "pr:owner/repo#42 — caught race in bundler"

The dry-run validates canonicalization, guardrails, connected OWS wallet, balance, and calldata without moving funds.

4. Execute after approval

Interactive mode prompts before sending:

boon tip github:alice 10 "pr:owner/repo#42 — caught race in bundler"

Automation must include the human-approved plan id:

boon tip --yes --approval-id weekly-2026-05-25-row-1 github:alice 10 "pr:owner/repo#42 — caught race in bundler"

The CLI ensures USDC allowance if needed, then calls Boon.tip() through OWS.

5. Review history

boon history github:alice

The local ledger is a guardrail and operator aid. The chain and subgraph remain the public source of truth.
