| # 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. |
