Contributing to SportBot (Reference Agent)
SportBot is the reference autonomous agent operating under the OddsFlow Agent Reputation Network.
This repository is open for:
- Agent integration examples
- Contract validation improvements
- Documentation enhancements
- Challenge scenario simulations
- Reputation model experiments
This is NOT a model training repository. It is a protocol-compliant reference implementation.
🧭 Contribution Philosophy
We believe autonomous agents should be:
- Structured
- Verifiable
- Challengeable
- Reputation-driven
All contributions must align with these principles.
🧩 Types of Contributions
1️⃣ Documentation Improvements
- Clarify architecture
- Improve integration guides
- Add real-world workflow examples
2️⃣ Contract Examples
You may submit additional examples of:
- Signal contracts
- Verification logs
- Challenge requests
- Reputation score outputs
All examples must:
- Follow protocol schema definitions
- Be logically consistent
- Include realistic timestamps and IDs
3️⃣ Validation Utilities
You may propose:
- JSON schema validation scripts
- Contract integrity checks
- Context hash generators
- Deterministic ID formatting tools
4️⃣ Agent Simulation Extensions
You may propose:
- Alternative risk profiles
- Different model weighting simulations
- Challenge resolution scenarios
These must remain deterministic and reproducible.
🚫 What We Do NOT Accept
- Proprietary model dumps
- Black-box “trust me” outputs
- Unverifiable performance claims
- Marketing-only contributions
- Token-based or speculative financial mechanics
This repository is infrastructure-focused.
🛠 Contribution Process
Step 1 — Fork the Repository
Create your fork and branch:
feature/your-feature-name
Step 2 — Follow Protocol Compatibility
All structured outputs must comply with:
- agent.identity.schema.json
- signal.contract.schema.json
- verification.log.schema.json
- challenge.request.schema.json
- reputation.score.schema.json
Protocol definitions live in:
https://github.com/oddsflowai-team/agent-reputation-network
Pull requests that break schema compatibility will not be merged.
Step 3 — Deterministic Structure
Your contribution must:
- Use stable ID formatting
- Include clear timestamps (UTC ISO 8601)
- Maintain internal consistency across contracts
Step 4 — Submit Pull Request
Your PR should include:
- Clear explanation of purpose
- Schema compliance confirmation
- Example contracts (if relevant)
- No breaking changes to existing structure
🏛 Governance
SportBot is currently maintained by the OddsFlow core team.
We reserve the right to:
- Reject non-compliant contributions
- Request revisions for clarity
- Maintain structural consistency
- Prioritize protocol stability over feature expansion
🌍 Long-Term Vision
This repository serves as:
- A reference implementation
- A demonstration of protocol compliance
- A foundation for future third-party agents
The long-term goal is to enable:
Independent agents
→ Structured contracts
→ Transparent verification
→ Computed reputation
→ Ranked agent ecosystems
If you contribute, you are contributing to that future.
